Notes
'Lady Laura' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Lady Laura') is an evergreen shrub for specimen planting, hedges, espaliers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and moist soil. Large, semi-double pink flowers carry irregular splashes of deep rosy-pink, so every bloom looks different. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Plant it in a protected spot.
Pairs well with Duke blueberry, Sedge, Snake's head, and Asiatic jasmine.
