Snow Camellia is a compact fast-growing evergreen shrub with a rounded habit and lush glossy deep green that emerges copper. The profuse blooms of heavily frilled petals resemble white pompoms with magenta edges that last from fall into winter attracting butterflies. Best blooms occur in partial sun and acidic, well-drained soil.
