Camellia 'April Blush', 'April April Blush' Camellia, Cold-Hardy Camellias, Winter Blooming Camellias, Spring Blooming Camellias, Camellia Hybrids, Mid Season Camellias
Compact and extremely cold-hardy, Camellia japonica ‘April Blush’ is a lovely Japanese camellia with masses of large, semi-double, rose to shell-pink flowers with yellow anthers and cream filaments. The blooms are produced over a fairly long period in the mid-late season. They contrast beautifully with the evergreen foliage of lustrous, glossy dark green leaves and smooth gray bark. This luminous camellia hybrid belongs to the April Series introduced by Dr. Clifford Parks and can be successfully grown in regions as cold as USDA Zone 6b.
