'Marie Kirk' camellia (Camellia sasanqua 'Marie Kirk') is a shrub for borders, hedges, privacy screens, and winter interest. 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. The fragrant flowers open in autumn and again in winter, and bees and birds visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer.
