Notes
'Winter' camellia (Camellia 'Winter') is a shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. 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 stays evergreen, so it gives you leaf color all year. Violet-pink flowers open in early to late autumn and again in early to late winter.
Pairs well with White bigleaf hydrangea, Rainbow's End hosta, and Mondo grass.
