Camellia north east corner

Question from caroline Vincent

hello,
I have a very small garden (5X5m) with 2 meters fences. In the North/East corner, i was thinking of putting a camelia in a pot (for the acidity of the soil). I know that flowers may be damaged in east facing situations from the effects of early morning sunshine following frost. However, can you recommend a species that would be more resistant in this situation. I read that williamsii were more resistant in the North/East situation than Japonica. Any other tips.
If you have any other suggestion for an evergreen plant that will strive in a North/East corner, please, do not hesitate :)
Thanks
