APPEARANCE : Evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves and formal double, bright rose-red-pink flowers about the size of a cricket ball across. Japonica varieties flower later in the season and are more cool-climate tolerant.
USES : Suited to hedging, feature planting, and container planting. Upright and dense habit so makes a good ornamental hedge.

CARE : Mulch and water well, prune after flowering and fertilise using camellia specific feed.
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 2.5 - 4 m H x 1.5 - 2.5 m W
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
