Description

Apple Blossom Camellia is a classic evergreen flowering shrub prized for its apple-blossom-like color gradient—soft pink at the center, gently fading to creamy white at the edges. Blooming from winter through early spring, it brings refined color to the garden when most plants are dormant.

Well-adapted to the San Francisco Bay Area’s mild coastal climate, this camellia offers long-term structure, glossy year-round foliage, and dependable seasonal blooms with minimal maintenance. It performs beautifully in partial shade, making it ideal for courtyards, north-facing gardens, and under taller trees.
