Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
April Dawn Blush Camellia
Camellia japonica 'April Dawn Blush'
'April Dawn Blush' camellia has numerous large, formal double flowers late winter through spring. In peak bloom, the abundance of buds and flowers almost hide its deep green foliage. 'April Dawn Blush' reaches a mature height of 4 to 6 feet and a mature width of 3 to 5 feet. Unlike many camellias, those in the 'April' series can handle colder zone 6 winter temperatures.
