The blooms keep coming from January until March! The glossy-green evergreen foliage on this 8-10' shrub is beautiful all year. This award winning beauty will catch the eye and the nose of anyone in your garden! PSh/M
An old favorite noted for its light fragrance and large deep red double blooms in mid-late season (early spring for us). An upright growing to rounded dense evergreen shrub with rich glossy green foliage. Prefers a humus rich acidic soil and will need moderate moisture until well established. Camellias are the rose of winter in southern gardens, with their colorful blossoms held against deep rich green glossy foliage on a naturally upright to rounded evergreen shrub. Pick the flowers and float them in a bowl of water to bring their beauty indoors. Camellias prefer an acidic, humus rich soil with an organic mulch and average moisture. Once well-established they need little additional care and will continue to perform for years to come. Most Camellias do best where they get light shade or morning sun and the light filtered shade of pines seems to be perfect.
