One of the best for surviving unseasonably cold winters.
A Camellia worthy of any garden within its hardiness range, this old-time
favorite has earned its reputation by surviving cold snaps that killed every
other Camellia in the garden. Flowering very heavily from late winter into
earliest spring, it is not only compact and vigorous but very beautiful,
adding grace to any setting.
The blooms are semi-double and a pale shell-pink, reaching 3 to 5 inches
wide against glossy, evergreen dark foliage. Ready to flower right down to the
ground, 'Magnoliaeflora' really does resemble a Magnolia. Expect it to reach 8
to 10 feet high and 5 to 6 feet wide, with a dense, well-branched habit.
Ideal for perimeter plantings and specimen use because of its imposing size
and evergreen habit, this Camellia is also lovely in the border or foundation.
Easy and adaptable, it deserves a place in any warm-climate landscape.
