Notes
'Margaret Davis' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Margaret Davis') 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. It grows slowly into a columnar, evergreen shape that tolerates salt. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Bees and birds visit the blooms in winter and spring.
Pairs well with Wild ginger, Boxwood, Snake's head, and Asiatic jasmine.
