Overview

The flowers of this relatively compact camellia vary in colour from near-blush to coral pink - but each one is large and exquisitely formed! They appear in generous numbers over several months from late winter, so they are ideal for adding some seasonal interest, when little else is in bloom. It makes a handsome stand-alone specimen, or could be used to create an informal, evergreen screen in a partially shaded garden.

Specifications

  • Position: partial shade (but not east-facing)
  • Soil: moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil (or ericaceous compost for container-grown specimens)
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: February to April
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

Care guide

To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
