The Most Cold-Hardy Camellias
Why April Snow Camellias?
One of the hardiest Camellias on the market, the April Snow is known for its year-round, strong-growing interest and intoxicating blooms.
In fact, the April Snow Camellia is able to thrive in conditions far north of its southern cousins. With the April Snow, you can experience large double white flowers from March through April. And you'll know spring has arrived when this beauty begins to bloom.
The scent carries through the air and once you've experienced it, you know there is something nostalgic about the Camellia. Plant one in a container, or in your yard to enjoy and create memories for your own family. Plus, it's quite the prolific performer while being compact and you'll have more flowers than ever before - perfect for cut arrangements indoors, entryway containers, and beyond.
Deep green foliage keeps this Camellia interesting all year long. While the April Snow Camellia puts on an impressive show in the spring, it is a steadfast tree that provides year-round beauty. Its large 4-inch leaves are thick and glossy, making it popular for use as privacy hedges or screens.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. From there, dig a hole that's about three times the size of your Camellia's rootball, place your shrub, and backfill the soil.
Your Camellias will thrive in pots but need a container that's about twice the width of your plant's shipped container. Ensure it has drainage holes, use organic soil, and place your plant.
2. Watering: If the soil is dry about 3 inches down, then water until it's moist.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Camellia in the spring after the flowers have dropped. Using a soluble fertilizer for acid-loving plants once or twice a month in spring and mid-summer is best.
4. Pruning: After your blooming season has ended, you’ll want to remove any dead or weak wood (a gray tinge to the bark is an easy way to identify dead branches). Thin out the growth a bit when your Camellias become so dense that blooms will have difficulty emerging. Shorten lower limbs to encourage more upright growth.
