| I am a gardener first and a landscape designer second. I like to place fall blooming camellias in my designs. This time of the year there aren't alot of shrubs blooming and you don't have to worry about freezes damaging the blooms. I use them a lot on the corner of homes where you need a taller evergreen and espalier ones on a trellis between windows. Please share your favorite fall blooming upright japonicas that will perform well in my area. |

| One that comes to mind, for a showy display in the fall landscape is 'Daydream.' This one (below) is just 3 years old (it was a 3-gallon) and is beginning to bloom here in mid-October. It's a sasanqua but it has large white blooms edged in pink. It is a very vigorous upright grower, with deep green foliage year round, very hardy, and when it blooms it showers the ground with petals like snow. These can grow to the size of small trees fairly quickly if desired. Dog optional.
