Camellia are evergreen shrubs with simple, ovate, glossy, leathery leaves and showy flowers with solitary or clustered flowers early in the year.
Our Bonomiana Camellia consists of big pink buds, which really stand out against the backdrop of lustrous green foliage, which emerges in spring with a pink tinge and offers year round form and structure. It's a stunning addition to the border, and it will also do well (provided it is kept well fed and watered) in a large pot filled with ericaceous compost.

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.
