Camellia Ginyo Tsubaki

Camellia Ginyo Tsubaki is more prized for the unusual grey green foliage with the dark green serrated margin than for the flowers. The early blooming dark pink flowers are small and single. Camellia Ginyo Tsubaki grows slowly and does well in a shaded section of the garden and needs only modest amounts of supplimental water. I have grown this several times in different gardens and been pleased each time.
