Description
Blooming late winter through early spring, Arctic Dawn is a wonderfully unique cold hardy hybrid Camellia featuring large, brilliant coral-pink semi-double flowers with pretty, heart-shape petals. Surviving outdoors as far north as USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 6b, Artic Dawn has better cold tolerance than most camellias. Its large, glossy dark green leaves provide the perfect backdrop for the gorgeous flowers. The flowers and handsome dark green foliage are excellent for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase, or use just one flower to float in a bowl of water.
Landscape & Garden Uses
A moderate to taller growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 8-10 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide, Arctic Dawn can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall.) When “limbed up” to form a small tree it serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 6b, where not winter hardy.

Suggested Spacing: 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
