Senorita has flamboyant medium-sized, loose peony-form, dark pink flowers with wavy petals with yellow stamens nestling in the centre of the flower. Its glossy evergreen leaves are a perfect backdrop to the flowers. A very beautiful camellia blooming in February to April. All camellias give such pleasure during these months after the darkness of winter.

Height & Spread: in 10 years 2.5m x 2.2m

Garden care: Protect the emerging buds and flowers 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.
