Small white and pale pink peony form flowers with a notable fragrance appear in clusters in winter and spring on this erect shrub. Camellias thrive in sun or shade along the coast but need some shading during summer heat inland. Though they tolerate many soils, they grow best and show the beautiful deep greens for which their leaves are noted in well drained, acid soils, with moderate to regular watering.
