About this Camellia cultivar
Winter's Beauty is a cold-hardy hybrid camellia valued for its fall-to-winter display of large, clear shell-pink, peony-like flowers set against dark, glossy evergreen foliage. It is described as a slow-growing evergreen shrub and is noted as a hybrid derived from Camellia japonica 'Billie McCaskill' crossed with Camellia oleifera 'Plain Jane'. Its ornamental appeal comes from bright pink blooms opening during the cooler season when few other shrubs are flowering, making it especially useful in gardens in colder camellia-growing regions.
