Notes
'Les Jury' camellia (Camellia williamsii 'Les Jury') is an evergreen shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 4 to 6 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, so give it room. Blooms open in winter and continue into spring, and the plant needs little care.
Pairs well with White bigleaf hydrangea, Rainbow's End hosta, and Euonymus.
