Camellia japonica 'Arctic Dawn'

 

'Arctic Dawn' is a spring blooming camellia with large, coral pink, loose peony type flowers with distinct heart-shaped petals. Cold hardy in zone 6.  'Arctic Dawn' matures to be large, so consider planting it at the back of a bed or use as a tall screen in shade to dappled sun. By removing the lower branches of this camellia--a process called 'limbing up'--'Arctic Dawn' can be formed into a lovely tree form specimen.  Vigorous, upright, slightly pendulous growth make it suitable to espalier on a shady wall to create a romantic, luxurious hideaway.  

 

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.
