Info from Camforrest: This highly variable species from the mountains of southeastern China is related to C. sasanqua and C. oleifera. White flowers are produced in the fall and can vary in size from 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The foliage is a dark green, relatively small and fairly dense. The bark becomes orange at a young age and is quite attractive. It survives and thrives in exposed, severely deforested areas in the wild, and is very easy to cultivate.

Camellia hybride Debbie

Solitary Hardy to -15 °C

This is a very popular camlellia; it can be found all over the place. Large, deep pink peony-shaped flowers which bloom from early to late spring. Loose, upright growth, also suited to training, even against a north wall! My impression is that this camellia is less hardy than the -18oC which it is supposed to tolerate. Here in the nursery the plant gave up at -14oC ... bud hardiness is rather poor.
