Information by: Jerry Sortomme Editor Photographer: Steve Mullany
Description
In contrast to other Camellias, this broad-leaved evergreen shrub has small foliage and a more open habit. Its long shoots are easily trained on a wall or fence. Flowering occurs in the fall to early winter, and produces single to fully double blossoms. There should be an incorporation of organic material into the planting bed.

Water Saving Tip:
An easy water-wise improvement in lawn areas is to change high output spray sprinkler nozzles to low-flow rotators.
You'll have less runoff and be less likely to apply more water than is needed.
