Cold Hardy Fall Blooming Camellia Hybrids are hybridized specifically for the landscape. Tough enough to thrive in the mid-Atlantic region, these lovely evergreen shrubs produce showy flowers of pink or white over a period of 4 to 6 weeks in late autumn. Petals are shed individually when bloom is completed--eliminating the tiresome task of dead-heading for the gardener. Plant smart and be charmed all winter by one of these exceptional landscape camellias!

Camellia (oleifera x 'Frost Princess'), 'Snow Flurry', 'Winter's Hope'
Camellia (oleifera x hiemalis 'Otome'), 'Winter's Rose'

Family:
Theaceae

Culture:
Prefer moist, well-drained, acid soils with high organic matter content. Mulch should be applied and maintained year round. Camellias benefit from light shade in summer and protection from winter wind. Fertilize minimally to prevent leggy, unattractive growth.

Propagation:
Root successfully from cuttings taken in late fall, by the following spring, under mist, with bottom heat, 3000 ppm IBA. Propagating selections on own roots is recommended. If grafted, use cold hardy understock such as C. oleifera.

Landscape Use:
Lovely as specimen plants, foundation plantings, or naturalistic plantings at the edge of a woodland.
