The Purple Dawn Camellia, also known as Camellia japonica 'Mathotiana', is prized for its large, 5 inch, formal double deep pink flowers that look as though they've been spray painted around the edges with purple. The purple cast appears as the bloom ages. The flower buds open in late winter and continue well in to spring. For those who love bold and uniquely beautiful flowers, Purple Dawn is a must have for the garden. The flowers are perfect for cutting. To enjoy them indoors, display several in a vase or float just one in a bowl of water,flowering may continue well into January. Cool weather helps to produce the purple tones. Purple Camellia has a tidy compact growth habit making it a good choice where space is an issue. Use this compact evergreen shrub as a low hedge or accent.
