Camellia jap. 'Swan Lake' ™ (white)

This evergreen shrub features a dense, upright, and rounded habit, making it an excellent choice for border plantings or as an accent plant. Recommended for hardiness zones 7-9, it thrives in mild climates with temperatures ranging between 10°F and 50°F. During the cooler months, its pristine white, semi-double flowers add elegance to any garden, creating a striking contrast against its glossy, dark green foliage. This variety prefers acidic, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter and performs best in partial shade where protection from harsh sun and wind is available. With no notable fall color change and no fruiting, it maintains its lush green appearance year-round. Mature height can reach 6-10 feet, with a similar spread, and it exhibits moderate deer resistance, making it a suitable option for lightly forested or deer-prone areas.
