Christmas Carol™ Camellia

Camellia sasanqua 'Green J-039'

This cross of Camellia japonica with sasanqua brings you the best of two worlds: The semi-weeping habit pleases those who find japonicas too stiff and stodgy in the landscape. Red, bell-shaped flowers with white edges bloom autumn through Christmas.
