Camellia

Camellias are one of most popular, favourite spring-flowering shrubs. The delightful blooms in shades of reds, pinks or white and cream, are set off by shiny, evergreen foliage. Preferring a slightly shaded position, they lift the gloom of these dark areas. And being lime-hating, acid-loving, ericaceous plants, they need an acidic soil. If your soil isn’t suitable, they’re perfect for growing in containers of ericaceous compost. Browse our full camellia collection and find some that are perfect for your garden.
