Even winter's icy grasp has a tough time conquering Camellia 'Winter's Toughie', with buds so hardy that abundant blooms burst forth as autumn makes way for winter's chill. This vigorous evergreen beauty flaunts rich, glossy leaves, the perfect backdrop for the delightful and lightly scented, semi-double flowers. The thin yet resilient petals, curving into loosely open blooms with fluted edges, defy all but the worst that the cold weather can conjure. Whether in a partially shaded border or trained against a wall or trellis in neutral to acid soils, this resilient Camellia adorns bare spaces with persistent blooms when little else dares to flower.
