Description

Just Chill™ Double Mauve camellia brings an unexpected color to autumn and winter - a bright pink-mauve. Each semi-double flower opens to an elegant bowl-like shape and is perched above thick, leather, dark green evergreen foliage. We have seen very good survival even here in our West Michigan trial gardens but to be safe, are offering this fall-blooming camellia as hardy to USDA zone 7, with potential for USDA zone 6b with protection.

Growing Tips

Plant in dappled sunlight for the brightest foliage color. Flowers don't last long as cuts, but the foliage makes a nice filler for arrangements.
