Camellia (Camellia chekiangoleosa)

|
Camellias are one of the first flowering angiosperms that appeared in the Cretaceous period. Camellia chekiangoleosa is a species Camellia from southeast China that is closely related to Camellia japonica. It is quite cold hardy but prefers shade, acid soil, and ample water. Even small plants bloom profusely in February with large single blossoms. This Camellia will undoubtedly become more popular in horticulture as more gardeners discover its hardiness and beauty.
