A camellia that weathers the winter well PLANT INTRODUCTIONS
2001
Overview
Several cultivars for garden use are available, with Rosea, a pink- flowered form, the most common. Its new growth is a rich reddish- purple, a potent color contrast to the dark green mature leaves. In Norfolk, Va., I collected cuttings from a lustrous dark green leaf form (no name attached) that was distinctly upright in habit. The leaves had the same black-green patina as Otto Luyken cherry laurel. My first thought was its use for hedging and screening in shady environments. Also, a recent visit to Camellia Forest Nursery in Chapel Hill, N.C., uncovered additional cultivars, several with large leaves. Plant Camellia sinensis in moist, well-drained soil in shade or sun. Plants have never wilted or demonstrated signs of heat or drought stress. The only serious insect is scale, and I have yet to observe even minor degrees of infestation.
