Camellia evergreen flowering shrub in a 3.2-gallon (12-liter) container, available in assorted varieties. Camellias are prized ornamental plants native to East Asia, known for their stunning blooms and glossy dark green foliage. These long-lived perennial shrubs typically bloom from late winter to early spring, producing large, showy flowers in colors ranging from white to pink to red depending on the variety. Common varieties include Camellia japonica, Camellia sasanqua, and various hybrids.

Camellias thrive in USDA Hardiness Zones 7 through 9 and prefer filtered light or partial shade, with protection from strong afternoon sun. They require well-drained, acidic soil with a pH of approximately 6.0 to 6.5 and benefit from regular watering of about one inch per week. Prune after flowering to encourage fuller growth and maintain shape. These are very low-maintenance plants once established, with a potential lifespan of 50 to 100 years. Mature plants can reach 6 to 12 feet tall with a spread of 6 to 10 feet, making them excellent choices for landscape beds, privacy screening, foundation plantings, or container growing.
