Camellia belongs to the family Theaceae. They’re found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. While this plant is not native to my region, the Pacific Northwest, Western North America. It is a good friend to the PNW gardener. It’s ability to “plays well with others” and not dominate everything in the landscape gives it an A+ in my opinion! It’s content to share space with native ferns and Redwood sorrel. I’m sorry, I don’t know which species of Camellia this is.
Feel free to use any of these pictures for artistic inspiration. If you do, please comment with a link or email me. I would love to see it! Thank you!

Melanie – What an absolutely beautiful shrub! Is it new – or is the reason I never saw it was I was not visiting at the right time of the year. Love, ya. Em

You haven’t been here when it is in bloom. It was here when we moved in eight years ago so it’s well-established.

Thanks! I tried to figure out what type of Camellia it was but I couldn’t find any matching pictures online and I didn’t have time to keep searching.
