Why we love this plant!

This Camellia produces pink flowers in autumn and winter, providing a food source for pollinators when few other plants are flowering. Its evergreen foliage makes it suitable for hedging, screening, or as a standalone feature in South East Queensland gardens.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

Regular watering is important for young plants, particularly during dry spells.
Established plants may still benefit from occasional deep watering.

Mulching preferences:

Applying a mulch layer may help retain soil moisture and keep roots cool.

Fertilising preferences:

A slow-release, acid-formulated fertiliser after flowering may support healthy growth and flowering for the following season.

Pruning preferences:

Pruning after flowering may help maintain shape and encourage new growth.

Good to Know:

Prefers light shade and protection from the hot afternoon sun.
Ensure good airflow to reduce the risk of fungal issues in humid conditions.
