Notes from the plant tag:
Medium sized flowers with double centres of pale primrose, tightly ruffled petals circled by large antique white petals. Blooming mid-season on a compact, upright bush.
DESCRIPTION: Large evergreen shrub with attractive, glossy, dark green thick foliage. Large showy flowers are borne in early winter to mid spring. Camellia japonica has been in cultivation for around 300 years.
POSITION: Early 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, 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 the 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.
