    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Much sought-after Camellia, a rather demure, Chinese form, grown not only for its beloved pink blushed buds that open to 1” long, bell flowers, but also for the, small, glossy leaves that look Carnuba'ed. May reach 6' in time with a graceful weeping habit. Morning sun would be best with summer water. Frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8.
