📌 Product Description

Camellia japonica Peach Pink is a graceful evergreen shrub prized for its soft peach-pink blooms that appear during the cooler months. The elegant flowers, often semi-double to fully double in form, stand out beautifully against the plant’s glossy, dark green foliage, creating a refined and romantic garden display.

Flowering in late winter to early spring, this camellia brings much-needed colour when most plants are dormant. It is ideal for shaded garden beds, woodland settings, feature planting, and large decorative containers in South African temperate regions.
