| Keywords: outdoor plant flower The 'Chansonette' cultivar of snow camellia is an upright evergreen shrub native to eastern and southern continental Asia. Its miniature, bright pink, formal double (extra-petaled) flowers appear in midwinter to very early spring. Petal edges are frilled, mimicking the look of sasanqua camellia flowers. The glossy, dark green and leathery leaves are pointed ovals with teethed edges. Plant this snow camellia in moist, acidic, humus-rich soil. It does best in bright partial shade, but will tolerate nearly full sun if ideal soil conditions are maintained. Often used for specimen plantings in woodland gardens, snow camellias provide a longer flowering season than the late fall-blooming sasanquas. www.learn2grow.com/plants/camellia-hiemalis-chansonette/ The 'Chansonette' cultivar of snow camellia is an upright evergreen shrub native to eastern and southern continental Asia.
