Description
A very lovely camellia with formal double pale pink flowers which are long blooming, often from late winter through spring. Bred in America for cold-hardiness and vigor by the late Cliff Parks, this camellia should be in ever garden.
Lustrous evergreen leaves frame the large double flowers with the petals transitioning in colour from palest pink at the centre to darker pink round the edges. A vigorous compact tree with a natural upright habit, rounding with age.
Camellias prefer an acid, humas rich moist soil, they do like the occasional mulch. Plant where they get light shade or morning sun to protect the buds and avoid all day strong sunshine. Once established, they need little additional care and give much pleasure with their glorious flowers for years to come.
