Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
Bloom Time | Winter |
---|---|
Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
Special Features | Non-toxic to Cats and Dogs |
Growth Rate | Moderate |
Growth Habit | Upright |
Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Showy Flowers |
Landscape Use | Border, Container, Espalier, Privacy Screen |
Design Ideas | Be sure to keep this beauty in viewing distance in patio beds, containers or decorating the foundation plantings around your house. Great as an espalier to cover walls. If set back in a woodland setting, plant in mass and complement with low growing perennials. A wonderful specimen in Asian gardens. |
Flower Color | White |
Foliage Color | Dark Green |
Companion Plants | The outstanding, formal blooms on this Camellia pair best with other garden classics such as Boxwood hedges, Juniper topiaries from Monrovia's Italianate Collection, as well as fragrant Gardenias. To stay true to its Asian heritage, plant with Azalea, Heavenly Bamboo, Japanese Maple, Dogwood and Lily of the Valley. For those shady beds close to your outdoor patios, create a moonlight garden with white blooming Astilbe, Hydrangea, and Clematis. Provide some filtered shade with small stature, white blooming trees like Apple Serviceberry, and Redbud. |
Care Instructions | Provide organically rich, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Prune lightly to shape and feed with an acid fertilizer after flowering. |
