03/2020: Planted in small dirt patch in front of sun room
We carried this largish shrub with us out of the 2020 PNW Flower & Garden Festival. I couldn’t decide if the stares were due to the beautiful blooms or because it looked like we were trying steal furtively out of the show behind a shrubbery. Camelias do well in shade and part shade, but I’ve read morning sun could potentially burn early frosted blooms, so we’ll see how it does given the eastern exposure. I think this old fashioned favorite complements the red trim of our old timey house quite well!
