Japanese Camellia

Japanese Camellia adds classic evergreen structure and elegant seasonal color to the landscape. Its glossy, dark green foliage creates a polished backdrop year-round, while large, showy flowers bring beautiful interest from late winter into early spring.

With a naturally graceful growth habit, Camellia japonica works well as a specimen shrub, foundation planting, informal hedge, or feature within a mixed border. It performs best in partial shade, especially with protection from intense afternoon sun, and prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil.

Sold in a 3-gallon container, Japanese Camellia is a timeless choice for Metro Atlanta gardens that need evergreen foliage and early-season blooms.
