Description

Winter’s Waterlily is perhaps the most cold hardy Camellia we offer, possibly cold hardy as far north as USDA Zone 5b! An abundance of gorgeous, anemone to formal double snow white flowers with rays of yellow emerging from the center are produced fall into winter, when we can use color in the garden. The lustrous dark green foliage provides the perfect backdrop and color contrast for the flowers. The flowers and foliage are excellent for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase.

Landscape & Garden Uses

A taller growing Camellia of 10 feet tall and wide, Winter’s Waterlily can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small evergreen tree which serves well as a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, white theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.

Suggested Spacing: 6-8 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 feet or more for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.

This came so well packed!! I was wondering what kind of shape this plant would arrive in and it turns out it was in absolutely pristine shape. The plant is exceptionally healthy and thriving; a gorgeous and robust plant with glossy dark green leaves. There were several flower buds on the plant, which was exciting. The box and packaging materials used encased the plant without damaging it, and it was so sturdy and well-packed that the plant sustained no damage in shipment whatsoever. Bravo!! This was a gift for my mom, who lives in a colder growing zone, and it happened to show up right on her birthday. Job well done Wilson Bros!!———————————Awesome! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope she enjoys it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Just wanted to let you know that the other three Camellias you sent arrived this week . . . and they were packaged in THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, SHIPPING-SUCCESSFUL way I have ever seen! I am an industry professional (horticulturist and landscape designer) and I have been ordering plants through the mail for over 30 years. These were just BEAUTIFULLY prepped for shipping and they arrived without a single damaged leaf.
