Camellia Springs Promise

Springs Promise Camellia

A cold-hardy camellia valued for its soft pink semi-double flowers, glossy evergreen foliage, and reliable early-spring bloom. Blooms appear in late winter to early spring, opening to gently layered pink petals accented by golden stamens, bringing refined color to the garden as winter fades.

Growth is upright to rounded, forming a dense evergreen shrub with strong structure and year-round presence.
