Camellia

Camellia is a cherished evergreen shrub admired for its glossy, dark green foliage and showy blooms that brighten gardens from late winter through spring. Its flowers, ranging from delicate singles to full doubles in shades of white, pink, and red, provide vibrant seasonal interest. Best grown in partial shade with shelter from cold winds, Camellia thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soil. With consistent watering and mulching, it remains a garden favorite for woodland plantings, shaded borders, or as a striking specimen in containers.
