Camellias are blooming right now! Everything is gray, cold, and (if you
live on the east cost) very damp. It is very dreary outside, but
camellias are bright and cheery. If you have this little evergreen
workhorse shrub planted in your garden you will have bright blooms
through the holiday season.
They live for a very long time, hundreds of years, and they are very cold-hardy, blooming and thriving in the winter months to temperatures of
0ºC. Camellias can be a dependable source of year-round beauty in your
garden or landscape design.
These woody perennial shrubs have been bred into thousands of
colorfully blooming cultivars. It should be very easy to find the
camellia that fits your specific tastes and needs. They work well in
containers or as part of a large landscaping plan.
