Camellia japonica is a stunning specimen for milder gardens with glossy, dark-green, broadly elliptic, evergreen leaves accented with lovely, rose-like flowers in early spring. 'Debutante' has lovely ruffled mid pink, double, peony style flowers in early to midseason. A heavy bloomer with flowers 3-4 inches wide and an heirloom cultivar from at least the 1930s. Camellias appreciate rich, acidic, moist, well-draining soils. Use in the light shady garden as an accent or specimen plant, a hedge, or an espalier, or in containers and as cut flowers. Somewhat deer resistant. Plant in a protected location in zone 7.
