5 from 1 customers

Camellia Silver Dollar is renowned for its beautiful, ruffled, double, pure white flowers. These are produced in autumn and early winter and contrast nicely with the glossy, dark green leaves as it grows to 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide. Camellia Silver Dollar is commonly grown as a specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage or “white” gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.

Why Choose a Camellia Silver Dollar Hedge?

A Camellia Silver Dollar hedge offers the perfect blend of practicality and beauty for gardens big and small. Its compact, bushy growth habit naturally forms a thick screen without the need for constant trimming. This makes it ideal for hedging, topiary, or as an ornamental backdrop to mixed shrub borders. The glossy, evergreen leaves provide valuable privacy all year round, while the sparkling white blooms light up the winter garden when other plants have faded.

Compared to faster-growing hedge species, Camellia Silver Dollar offers a more refined, formal look with steady, manageable growth. It thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, in either full sun or partial shade. Coastal dwellers will love its tolerance to salt winds and its resilience to common garden pests.

How to Plant and Care for Your Camellia Silver Dollar Hedge

For best results, plant your Camellia Silver Dollar hedge in autumn or early spring, allowing plenty of space—about 80cm to 1 metre between plants. Dig a hole twice as wide as the rootball, and enrich the soil with plenty of organic matter. Water well after planting, and mulch beneath the hedge to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Camellia Silver Dollar is relatively low-maintenance, requiring an annual trim after flowering to keep the hedge tidy and to encourage bushy new growth. Feed your hedge in spring with a slow-release fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants. During dry spells, a deep soak every couple of weeks will keep the blooms coming.

Pairing Camellia Silver Dollar with Other Shrubs

Planting a Camellia Silver Dollar hedge creates a classic evergreen frame, but pairing it with other striking shrubs can elevate your garden’s beauty and diversity. For contrasting flower forms and colour, consider supplementing your garden with varieties like Camellia 'Ballet Dancer', renowned for its frilled pink flowers, or the dramatic, dark-foliaged Camellia 'Black Lace'. For a subtle cream accent among your hedges, add Camellia 'Brushfields Yellow'.

Accent the base of your hedge with underplantings such as Azalea 'Inga' for a flush of spring colour, or consider neighbourhood-friendly companions like Rhododendron Midnight and Hydrangea 'Miss Belgium' for extended seasonal interest.
