Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Camellia japonica is a stunning specimen for milder gardens with glossy, dark-green, broadly elliptic, evergreen leaves accented with lovely, rose-like flowers in early spring. 'Glen 40' has luscious formal, deep red flowers that bloom in mid season. They are 3-4 inches wide. An heirloom cultivar from at least the 1930s. Camellias appreciate rich, acidic, moist, well-draining soils. Use in the light shady garden as an accent or specimen plant, a hedge, or an espalier, or in containers and as cut flowers. Somewhat deer resistant. Plant in a protected location in zone 7.

Large, deep red, formal double to rose-form double style flowers decorate the deep green foliage on this plant, which has a compact growth habit. It is nice-looking even out of flower. Good for use in containers as well as in the garden. One of the most profuse bloomers, the flowers appear mid to late season.
