Camellia Spring Festival is an elegant evergreen shrub with slightly glaucous foliage that stays attractive throughout the year. From late winter into mid spring it produces an abundance of small double pink flowers that brighten borders at a time when little else is in bloom. Its upright pillar like habit means it fits well into mixed planting without overwhelming nearby shrubs. Plant in acidic humus rich soil or ericaceous compost in a sheltered spot with light shade and keep the soil evenly moist to prevent bud drop. With minimal pruning and regular feeding in spring and early summer it will reward you with reliable flowering and steady growth.
