COLD-HARDINESS — (-10°F, USDA Zones 6-9) If you live in an area where temperatures drop to -10°F (Zone 6) during the winter, chances are you haven’t been able to enjoy a camellia in your garden until now. With the development of these cold-hardy varieties by William Ackerman at the U.S. National Arboretum and Dr. Clifford Park, everyone will want one. Please give protection from winter wind and early morning sun, and they will do much better.

Many of the camellias in the following sections have proven suitable for regions north of the camellia belt. William L. Ackerman has listed many of these in his book Growing Camellias in Cold Climates. We are giving you his recommendations when available.

These designations are for USDA Zone 6, -10°F.

*** = Very Hardy ** = Hardy * = Marginally Hardy

Camellias prefer moist, acid, well-drained soil, high in organic matter. The shallow root system lends itself well to transplanting. Keep these roots well mulched. Most camellias do best in dappled shade, and will reach 5-8’ in 10 years, unless otherwise indicated. In the wild, they often achieve tree stature, and can in the garden as well.
