Notes
'Winter's Waterlily' camellia (Camellia 'Winter's Waterlily') is a shrub for accents, hedges, espaliers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and moist soil. The white blooms are semi-double to peony-style and look like waterlilies. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Plant it in a protected spot so the glossy evergreen leaves stay healthy.
Pairs well with Crimson Queen Japanese maple, Aureola Japanese forest grass, and Wood sorrel.
