Notes
'Pink Perfection' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Pink Perfection') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, containers, and woodland gardens. 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 wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fully double pink flowers open in profusion from late winter to early spring. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The glossy leaves stay dark green all year.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Cherry laurel, and Asiatic jasmine.
