Description

Named for its cold tolerance as far north as USDA Zone 6b and its beautiful winter flowers, ‘Winter’s Interlude’ is a hybrid Camellia that produces an abundance of gorgeous, semi-double peony form flowers with twelve clear-pink petals surrounding a dense cushion of mixed creamy white and pink petaloids at the center. The flowers appear October into December providing unrivaled winter interest when there’s not much else blooming in the garden. The semi-glossy, deep green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the abundance of delightful flowers which are excellent for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase.

Landscape & Garden Uses

A lower growing Camellia with a mounded to slightly spreading habit of growth to about 5 feet tall and 6 to 7 feet wide, Winter’s Star is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as an accent or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to winter gardens, pink theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for growing in containers that can be brought indoors where this plant isn’t reliably winter hardy above USDA Zone 6b. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 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.
