Notes from the plant tag:

Formal, double, light pink flowers, with petals tipped a darker pink, are borne mid-season on an upright shrub.

DESCRIPTION: Large, evergreen shrub with attractive, glossy, dark green, thick foliage. Large showy flowers are borne in early winter to mid spring. C.japonica has been in cultivation for around 300 years.

POSITION: Morning sun or part shade. Shelter from the hot afternoon sun and wind. Can be planted under large trees. Dense shade restricts flowering.

SOIL: Well drained, slight 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 camellia fertiliser or a complete organic fertiliser. Avoid lime.
