Camellias are beautiful evergreen flowering shrubs known for their glossy, deep green foliage and spectacular blooms. Flowering from fall through spring, depending on the variety, camellias bring vibrant colour and elegance to the garden when many other plants are dormant. Their stunning flowers come in shades of white, pink, and red, with varieties featuring delicate single blooms, semi-double flowers, or full, rose-like blossoms.
Well-suited to gardens throughout the Pacific Northwest, camellias thrive in sheltered locations with partial shade and well-draining, slightly acidic soil. These versatile shrubs make excellent foundation plantings, evergreen hedges, woodland garden additions, or striking focal points. Popular varieties include Camellia japonica, known for its impressive winter-to-spring flowers, and Camellia sasanqua, admired for its earlier blooms and graceful growth habit.
Whether you're looking to brighten a shady garden, create year-round privacy, or enjoy beautiful flowers during the cooler seasons, camellias are a wonderful addition to your landscape.
