Winter's Charm' Camellia, Cold-Hardy Camellias, Fall Blooming Camellias, Winter Blooming Camellias, Camellia Hybrids, Winter Series Camellias, Early Season Camellias
Noted for its unique cold hardiness and its showy flowers resembling peonies, Camellia ‘Winter’s Charm’ is a gorgeous early-season camellia from the U.S. National Arboretum Collection. Tough and reliable, this evergreen camellia can be successfully grown in regions as cold as USDA Zone 6b. Blooming over 4 to 6 weeks in late fall to early winter, each flower, 3-5 in. wide (7-12 cm), consists of 14 lavender-pink petals surrounding a prominent center of petaloids (small petals) and golden stamens. Petals are shed individually when blooms are completed, eliminating the need for any deadheading by the gardener. The foliage of leathery, slightly glossy, dark green leaves is very ornamental.
‘Winter’s Charm’ is a peony-form camellia resulting from a cross between Camellia oleifera (cold hardiness) and Camellia sasanqua ‘Takara-wase’ (flower form).
