Notes
'Pink Icicle' camellia (Camellia 'Pink Icicle') is a shrub for specimen planting, hedges, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The semi-double, shell pink flowers are 4.5 inches wide and open from late winter to early spring. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Plant it in a protected location.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Lady fern, and Japanese forest grass.
