Camellia japonica 3 gal

Camellia japonica

Camellia japonica is a timeless addition to any landscape, known for its stunning, glossy evergreen leaves and exquisite blooms. This woody plant is particularly celebrated for its large, showy flowers that can range in color from soft pinks to deep reds, often featuring a delicate, creamy white center.

Typically blooming from late winter to early spring, the Camellia japonica brings a vibrant burst of color during the colder months, making it a valuable asset for seasonal interest.

This variety thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and prefers partial shade, making it an ideal pairing for Azaleas (full to part shade) and Gardenias (full to part sun). Ferns will also add textural interest for woodland gardens or shaded areas. Once established, Camellia japonica requires minimal maintenance, offering a long-lasting presence in your garden. 

With a mature height that can reach up to 12 feet, it can be utilized as a standalone specimen or as part of a mixed border. Its dense growth habit also provides excellent privacy and shelter for smaller plants and wildlife.

For those looking to enhance their garden with a plant that combines elegance and resilience, Camellia japonica stands out as a distinguished choice.
