Camellia 'Nicky Crisp'

Camellia 'Nicky Crisp' Details

“Nicky Crisp” is a lovely, evergreen shrub that produces pale pink, semi-double flowers with golden anthers. These spectacular blooms appear in winter and spring and contrast well with glossy, dark green foliage. It is a relatively compact plant with an upright growth habit that typically reaches 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of cool and humid climates as well as moderate frost once established. “Nicky Crisp” is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container. For hedging space plants 50 cm apart.
