Camellia japonica 'April Arabesque'

New! (Fall 2019) The latest addition to our cold-hardy April series!  This beauty is one of the survivors of the winter of 1985, when temperatures here in central North Carolina dropped to -9°F.  Fine, radial, deep pink striping on pale pink flowers make this plant a unique addition to colder climate gardens.  A Camellia Forest introduction, 2018.
