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. 'Magnoliaeflora' (syn. 'Hagoromo') is an heirloom cultivar that was sent from Japan to Italy in 1886. The pale pink, semi-double flowers are absolutely lovely and may appear near white in some light. The flowers are 3-4 inches wide and bloom in midseason. 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.
