Winter's Star' Camellia, Cold-Hardy Camellias, Fall Blooming Camellias, Winter Blooming Camellias, Camellia Hybrids, Winter Series Camellias, Early Season Camellias
Noted for its unique cold hardiness, showy flowers, and the quality of its foliage, Camellia ‘Winter’s Star’ is a lovely 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 in the fall over 4 to 6 weeks (October – November), each flower, 3-4 in. wide (7-10 cm), consists of 6 violet-pink petals surrounding a center boss of bushy 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 Star’ is a hybrid camellia resulting from a cross between Camellia oleifera (cold hardiness) and Camellia hiemalis ‘Showa-no-sakae’ (flower form).
