Camellia Silver Anniversary

The Silver Anniversary Camellia is a perfect anniversary gift to last and last, giving year round pleasure. Evergreen shrub flowering from late winter to early spring. Exquisite large white, peony like flowers with golden stamens appear on this lovely shrub with buds often appearing in December.

From late winter to early spring, large white, peony-form flowers with a golden boss of stamens, appear on this lovely shrub. The bright green leaves gradually darken with age providing a glossy backdrop to the luminous flowers when they appear. For the rest of the year, they provide essential structure, which is invaluable during the winter months when many other plants have lost their leaves.

A reasonably fast-growing plant with an upright habit it can be planted into a mixed or shrub border or used as a stand-alone specimen. It can also make a fine, informal hedge or screen. An added advantage is that it can do well in a pot for those with a small space or very alkaline soil. (Camellias dislike alkaline soil.)
