Notes from the plant tag:
An early blooming hybrid producing extremely large, semi-double, pink flowers with upright, wavy petals.
DESCRIPTION: Large, upright evergreen shrub with attractive, glossy, dark green thick foliage. Large pink flowers are borne in early winter to mid spring.
POSITION: Morning sun in a partly shaded position. Shelter from the hot afternoon sun and wind. Can be planted under large trees. Dense shade restricts flowering.
SOIL: Well drained, slightly acidic soil. Before planting combine soil with organic matter for best results.
CARE: Keep moist especially in hot dry weather. Mulch with compost, leaf mould or other organic matter to keep roots cool. Do not allow mulch to touch the trunk. May be lightly trimmed to shape in spring. Feed in spring with a specific camellia fertiliser or a complete organic fertiliser.
