Camellia japonica 'Unryu', Zig Zag or Contorted Camellia deciduous White to nearly white orchidSingle, reddish pink, funnel shaped flowers bloom in late winter and sporadically rebloom on artfully zig zagging stems. This photo was taken in early January! 'Unryu' means "dragon in the clouds" in Japanese, suggesting the twisting of a dragon as it ascends to the sky. Nice for bonsai, evergreen, reliable. Mature size: 6 8 feet tall & 4 6 feet wide Minimum temperature: 0 F
