Notes
White Doves camellia (Camellia sasanqua White Doves (Mine-No-Yuki)) is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, borders, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast with an arching habit and stays evergreen. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Fragrant flowers open in autumn and again in winter, and bees and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Strawberry tree, Common holly, Red spider lily, and Switchgrass.
