Hilda's a beauty! Lots of hot pink blooms for a long time in autumn-winter, on this 3m evergreen shrub.

Plant it in a tub, plant it in your borders, plant it as a camellia hedge - she'll look stunning wherever you choose. Sansanqua type, so better for warmer humid gardens than the japonicas.

CARE : Mulch and water well, prune after flowering and fertilise in Spring.
MATURE HEIGHT & WIDTH : 3m H x 2m 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.
