Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unusual species camellia and rare in nurseries though found often in traditional or heritage southern gardens. We love this camellia for both its flowers -- small, pure white and fragrant in late winter to early spring -- and its leaves -- small and glossy glossy green with caramel new growth. Easily to 10' tall x 5' wide, either as a large shrub or trimmed up as a small tree, and can get taller. Treat as you would other camellias, planting in well-drained, acidic soil in part shade and provide regular summer water. Mulch for cool summer roots and winter protection. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
