Spring Surprise Camellia

The Spring Surprise Camellia is an evergreen shrub that produces pink flower buds that open to reveal double, soft pink, frilly blooms. These appear from winter through spring and contrast well with the 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. The Spring Surprise Camellia 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.
