Camellia Dark Nite

Camellia Dark Nite Details

Camellia x williamsii Dark Nite is an evergreen shrub that features medium sized, peony-like flowers that are burgundy red with yellow stamens. These are produced from spring through early summer and are complemented with glossy, green foliage. It grows relatively compactly with an upright habit to about 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide. Best performance with this variety is 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 Dark Nite 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 60 cm apart.
