502 - Camellia handelii
Plant Shrub
Closed
Current Bid: $80
(Pot Sz: 3 qt)
Common name: Handel's Camellia
¤ evergreen shrub to 6'
¤ plant in part sun to shade
¤ hardy to zone 7b, guessing
¤ white flowers in late winter to early spring
¤ attracts pollinators
This species Camellia is found in Hunan, Guizhou, and Jiangxi provinces of China, so we would guess this would give it some hardiness. Multiple buds are set at each node and the 1 to 1.5 inches across flowers generally face downwards. They're surprsingly strongly fragrant for a Camellia. The leaves are very small, only just over an inch long, which gives the plant a very fine texture.
