Camellia reticulata hybrids suited to Maryland?
I'm a camellia novice, having gotten hooked after moving to a home where some were planted by the former owner (no labels, definitely sasanquas, appear similar to 'Setsugekka' in size color and form, very fragrant, one of them has a big branch that has sported to deep rose red flowers). I've planted a few more in the last two years - 'Shishigashira' and 'Jean May' for fall bloom, 'Moonlight Bay' and an unidentified red japonica propagated by a neighbor for spring.
I'm reading a lot about C. reticulata hybrids, and I'm wondering if they are suited to my zone 7b location in Annapolis, Maryland. If so, I'm interested in any recommendations for cultivars. I tend to like solid colors rather than variegated flowers, and am definitely partial to light, clear pinks - BUT, I will happily take recommendations on any and all varieties, because, you never know, I just might like it........
Thanks.
