CAMELLIA BUSHES -Sale $40 (Reg.$45) WHITE DOVES or ROYAL VELVET Photos taken May 2, 2026

Planted in 5 gallon pots, professionally pruned to be full and flourishing.

A ROW MAKES A LOVELY HEDGE THAT BLOOMS LATE FALL THROUGH WINTER (WHITE DOVES) AND MID-WINTER TO SPRING (ROYAL VELVET) Plant both and enjoy a flowering hedge all through the cold months. (The hummingbirds will thank you too.)

WHITE DOVES CAMELLIA - At a time when white might mean snow, these sparkling white ruffled flowers bloom and lift a person’s spirit. White Dove Camellia bushes grow 6 to 9 feet tall in part sun or part shade and are considered deer and rabbit resistant. After 2 to 3 years they should be established enough to be drought resistant. Traditionally in Japan White Doves Camellia leaves have been used for tea, and the seeds for oils (in cooking and cosmetics). Camellia sasanqua ‘White Doves’ USDA Zones 7 - 10 RED VELVET CAMELLIA is well named as it has extra-large velvety deep red/burgundy flowers (4-5 inches across) that look just like lush velvet. They bloom at a time when little else is flowering - mid-winter to spring. Camellia nectar sustains our local pollinators, especially bees and hummingbirds. Royal Velvet has upright growth, maturing 8 to 10 feet tall. It prefers partial sun to partial shade and will do well planted in a large container. The flowers are frost-tolerant. With glossy dark green leaves, a row of Royal Velvet Camellia creates a dense hedge or privacy screen that is beautiful all year. Camellia japonica ‘Royal Velvet’ USDA Zones 7 – 9
