About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia 'Frost Prince' is a hardy camellia cultivar grown for its improved cold tolerance and ornamental evergreen character. It is generally treated as a Camellia japonica-type hardy hybrid. The cultivar bears pink flowers, typically semi-double in form, with a showy central boss of yellow stamens that gives the blooms a bright, open appearance. As a hardy camellia, it is valued for use in gardens where standard japonicas may be less reliable. The plant is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a fairly upright, bushy habit, flowering in the cooler camellia season from late winter into spring.
