Notes
'E.G. Waterhouse' camellia (Camellia williamsii 'E.G. Waterhouse') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance 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 moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 8 to 15 feet tall and wide, so give it room. Flowers open from winter into spring, and the glossy leaves stay green all year.
