Camellia Gay Baby Details

Camellia japonica Gay Baby is a delightful, evergreen shrub that produces small, semi-double, dark pink flowers with a hint of lavender through winter and spring. These spectacular blooms are complemented with glossy, dark green foliage. New spring growth is an attractive bronze and gradually matures to green. It grows relatively compactly with an upright growth habit, reaching about 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Best results with this variety 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. Camellia Gay Baby 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.
