Camellia 'Navajo'

Camellia 'Navajo' Details

Camellia sasanqua ‘Navajo’ is an evergreen shrub that produces single, white flowers that are heavily tinged pink at the petal edges. These spectacular blooms appear during late winter and spring, and are complemented with glossy, green foliage. It is relatively compact plant with an upright growth habit and typically reaches 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 ‘Navajo’ 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.
