Camellia Japonica Pink "Japanese Camellia' 10Liter
Product Details
Weight: 10.00 kg
Product Name: Camellia japonica – Pink
Botanical Name: Camellia japonica
Common Name: Japanese Camellia
Product Description
Camellia japonica (Pink) is a classic evergreen shrub prized for its luxurious, glossy dark-green foliage and exquisite pink blooms produced in the cooler months when few other plants are in flower. The long-lasting, rose-like flowers bring elegance and colour to shaded gardens, woodland settings, formal borders, patios and large containers. Camellias are long-lived, low-maintenance plants that thrive in many temperate regions of South Africa.
Size When Fully Grown
- Height: Typically 2 m – 4 m
- Spread: Approximately 2 m – 3 m
- Growth is slow to moderate; plants can be kept smaller with pruning and are suitable for large containers.
Best Growing Conditions
- Light: Partial shade to filtered sunlight. Morning sun with protection from harsh afternoon sun is ideal.
- Soil: Acidic, well-drained, organic-rich soil (pH ±5.5–6.5). Avoid lime or alkaline soils.
- Watering: Regular watering, especially during bud formation and flowering. Soil should remain evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- Mulching: Mulch with pine bark or compost to conserve moisture and maintain soil acidity.
- Temperature: Prefers cool to mild climates. Protect from heavy frost and hot, drying winds.
- Feeding: Use a fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants in spring and again after flowering.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning required; shape lightly after flowering if needed.
Planting & Seasonal Guidance (South Africa)
- Best Time to Plant: Autumn and early spring, allowing roots to establish before extreme summer heat.
- Growing Season: Vegetative growth occurs mainly in spring and summer.
- Flowering Season: Late winter to spring, depending on variety and local climate.
- Winter Care: Protect flower buds from severe frost and cold winds where necessary.
