Camellia 'Early Pearly'
Camellia Early Pearly is a very popular, evergreen shrub that flowers from late autumn through winter.

Camellia Early Pearly is commonly grown as a specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage or 'white' gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
