Notes
'Marge Miller' camellia (Camellia sasanqua 'Marge Miller') is a shrub for borders, hedges, privacy screens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fragrant flowers open in autumn and again in winter, and bees and birds visit them. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast with an arching habit and stays evergreen.
Pairs well with Japanese holly, Red spider lily, and Big bluestem.
