About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia x 'Winter's Waterlily' is a cold-hardy hybrid camellia, widely recognized as part of the winter-blooming hybrid group often associated with Camellia oleifera and Camellia hiemalis/sasanqua ancestry. It is valued for its elegant, waterlily-like double flowers, typically soft shell pink to light pink, and for flowering in the cooler season when few shrubs are in bloom. The plant is usually grown as an evergreen landscape shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a neat, dense habit. Its refined bloom form and reliable cool-season display make it a distinctive ornamental camellia for gardens in mild to moderately cold regions.
