Camellia japonica 'April Dawn'


This stunning camellia variety delivers season-long elegance with its abundant formal double blooms appearing from winter into spring. Each flower showcases nature's artistry—displaying soft white with delicate pink accents, rich solid pink, or beautiful blends of both. The lush deep green leaves create a perfect backdrop, nearly disappearing beneath the profusion of buds and blossoms at peak season. Growing to a manageable 4 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, 'April Dawn' fits beautifully into most garden spaces. What sets this camellia apart is its impressive cold hardiness—it thrives in zone 6 winters where many camellias struggle, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in cooler climates seeking reliable, long-lasting color.


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.
