Description
Camellia make stunning specimens for milder gardens with glossy, dark-green, broadly elliptic, evergreen leaves accented with lovely, rose-like flowers in early spring. ‘Black Magic’ offers deepest red flowers with ruffled petals of thick substance and a shiny lustre. The flowers are 3-5 inches wide. 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.
