Camellia Cotton Candy

Camellia Cotton Candy Details

Camellia sasanqua Cotton Candy is an evergreen shrub that produces showy, double, light pink flowers from spring through summer. The flowers are complemented with semi-glossy, green foliage. It is a relatively compact plant with an upright habit and typically reaches 2.5 m tall and 2 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 Cotton Candy 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.
