Camellia japonica 'Arctic Dawn'
This stunning spring-blooming camellia produces oversized coral pink flowers with a romantic peony form and charming heart-shaped petals. Hardy through zone 6, 'Arctic Dawn' grows vigorously with an upright, gracefully arching habit that reaches substantial height—perfect for anchoring the back of a garden bed or creating a leafy privacy screen in partial shade. Prune lower branches to develop an elegant tree silhouette, or train its naturally pendulous stems along a shady wall for a dreamy espalier display. A versatile choice for gardeners seeking year-round structure and spectacular spring 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.
