Notes
'Julius Nuccio' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Julius Nuccio') is a shrub for borders, woodland gardens, and pollinator plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun and average to wet soil. This slow-growing evergreen has a columnar shape, and its winter and spring flowers attract bees and birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Wax myrtle, Asiatic jasmine, and Cherry laurel.
