Camellia Japonica Winter Perfume Pearl (PBR) | 3 Litre Pot

A winter flowering evergreen shrub with glossy leaves and blush-white blooms. Position: partial shade (but not east-facing) Soil: moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil (or ericaceous compost for container-grown specimens) Rate of growth: average Flowering period: January to March Hardiness: fully hardy From midwinter to early spring, this compact camellia is smothered in sweet-smelling, blush coloured flowers – so not only does it look great, but it also smells divine! A compact grower, it does well in generously sized pots (provided it is kept well fed and watered), so it’s perfect for placing beside a doorway or entrace, where you can enjoy the fowers each time you pass by. Garden care: To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
