Camellias All Winter

Camellias are a well-loved Southern favorite. Different varieties flower at different times throughout the fall and winter. Sasanqua camellias begin to bloom as early as November, while the japonica types bloom later. By planting different varieties, you can enjoy the camellia's colorful blooms all winter.
