Camellias should be good choices for you, Dahlia.

Wikipedia says southern Japan but in areas up to 3,000 feet elevation. The information made it sound like you may have to raise the pH of your soil.

Camellias are beautiful plants. Even tea plantations are pretty.

This is a pic of them floating in a bowl of water. All colors and form are from one plant. Talk about a coat of many covers. A huge favorite.
