Joseph's Take
April Melody is a moderate grower, flowers are a bit smaller than some but its color is amazing. It is another zone 6 Camellia so its more cold hardy in the northern states.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer fall planting with 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.
