Notes
'Rosehill Red' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Rosehill Red') is a shrub for borders, woodland gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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 in a columnar shape, stays evergreen, and tolerates salt. Bees and birds visit the flowers, which open in winter and spring. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Wild ginger, Cherry laurel, and Anemone.
