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. 'Kumasaka' is one of the oldest cultivars dating from 1695 in Japan. The flowers can present in variable forms on the same plant: anemone (pictured), peony, or semi-double all in lush shades of mid to glowing pink. Hardy to zone 6b. 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 6.
