Notes
'Scentsation' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Scentsation') is an evergreen shrub for borders, containers, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows slowly into a columnar shape and tolerates salt. Bees and birds visit the blooms in winter and spring.
Pairs well with Azalea, Coralbells, and Primrose.
