Grown with Love, Sold with Pride!
Cam Too was established as a camellia nursery in 1982, as an outgrowth of a long time camellia hobby. We are committed to the advancement of camellia cultivation and the production of top quality garden variety by increasing the temperature zone ranges, extending the blooming season, increasing the bud-set for a more floriferous plant and increasing disease resistance. Although there has been quite a bit of breeding done on camellias in recent years, few new verities have been added to the marketplace.
The standard varieties are very good, but many lack adequate hardiness to grow in the cooler climates. We are constantly pushing the northern edge of their hardiness zone to reach people who were previously unable to enjoy the breath-taking beauty of these ever-green, winter-blooming plants. We are continuing to work on and releasing varieties that are adapted to hardiness zones 6 through 9, and that will bloom from September to April.
We are located on 60 acres of land off Highway NC 150 in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. Our current inventory consists of Camellia japonica, sasanqua, Zone 6 Hybrids, and various other trees, shrubs, and perennials.

Camellias
Over the last 38 years, Cam Too Camellia Nursery has provided the highest quality and the best selection of camellias in the industry. At this time, we are growing over 650 Variarties In three-gallon, seven-gallon, and fifteen gallons.
On our sixty-five acre farm, our goal is to offer a wide range of camellia varieties that are disease resistant and adaptive from the southern edge to the northern edge of the "Camellia Belt." We strive to produce the highest quality camellia in the industry. In the past few years, we have made great advancements in growing camellias with abundant bud and flowers while also producing large full plants suitable for your landscape project or nursery customer. All our plants come with a picture tag that includes care instructions and a colored strap tag with the plant's name and a short description. For a small fee, we can pre-price your order with a custom price tag.
Everyone knows the traditional camellia japonica and sasanqua cultivars, a staple in southern landscapes and hardy to Zone 7. The winter freeze of 1970 devastated the U.S. National Arboretum's camellia collection, which began the long work to develop a cold-hardy camellia. After twenty-five long years of research, Dr. Ackerman and Dr. Parks introduced the Hybridized Zone 6 Fall Blooming, Hybridized Zone 6 Spring Blooming, and Japonica Hybrids to the camellia world. Cam Too currently grows 25 varieties of the
Zone 6 Spring Blooming, including the
"April" series and
"Variety Z." one of the earliest varieties. We have 55 varieties of the
Zone 6 Fall Blooming camellia in production, consisting of the widely popular
"Winter's" series as well as
"Survivor," one of the hardiest varieties known to grow as far north as Toronto Canada.
Camellia Japonica, the "Bell of the ball," has large glossy green foliage with blooms ranging from formal double to single flowers with bright yellow centers. This spring-flowering evergreen stands tall and bushy in the landscape. Currently, we are growing 160 varieties so that we can have blooming plants from January through April. We grow a large selection of favorites like
Greensboro Red,
Dr.J.C. Raulston,
Kramer's Supreme,
Nuccio's Cameo, Jacks, Professor Sargent, and many other unique varieties for the camellia enthusiast.
Camellia Sasanqua is the small leaf camellia that blooms in the fall and works well in full to part sun. Sasanquas can vary in size from dwarf varieties averaging four feet in height like
Shishigashira and
Mine-No-Yuki to
Kanjiro, which can reach upwards of fifteen feet. The flower form and color can vary like the japonica, from White Christmas's formal white flower to
Yuletide's single red flower. Just like the Japonica, we grow many of the favorites like
Apple Blossom, Setsugekka,
Yuletide, Autumn Rocket, Cleopatra, and the
October Magic Series®. We currently have 425 varieties in production. Depending on the variety Sasanquas start blooming in September and continue to bloom into January and February.
Between the japonica and the sasanqua, it's possible to have a blooming camellia in your landscape from September to April. Please take the time to visit our website
