Overview: A japonica-type camellia grown for its purple, formal double blooms.

Mature size: Approximately 6–10 ft. tall and 5–8 ft. wide.

Sun exposure: Partial shade to shade; protect from harsh winter wind and afternoon sun

Flowering season: Late winter through spring (roughly December–April, timing varies by cultivar)

Hardiness: USDA Zones 7–9

Water needs: Average; consistent moisture in well-drained, organic-rich soil

Special features: Slow-growing but long-lived evergreen; needs acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5) — yellowing leaves usually signal soil that isn't acidic enough; flowers form on old wood, so prune right after bloom, not in fall; classic Southern foundation and specimen shrub

Wildlife value: Bees and other early-season pollinators
