Camellia cuspidata

Camellia cuspidata is an evergreen shrub that produces masses of small, single, white flowers from late winter through spring. It bears small, dark green, leathery leaves as it grows to 3 m tall and the same width. Camellia cuspidata is commonly grown as a specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. For hedging, space the plants 60 cm apart.

Growing Camellia cuspidata Successfully in NZ

Camellia cuspidata thrives in NZ's climate with well-drained soil. Be sure to plant it in full sun or partial shade on a site with plenty of moisture during summer. Wind protection will help produce a better plant overall, and we do recommend the plants be staked for added protection.

Camellia cuspidata Care Tips

Plant Camellia cuspidata in a sheltered spot with dappled light or full sun. The soil should be slightly acidic and must be free-draining. Water regularly during dry periods, especially while establishing. Mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged wood. Feed with acid-loving fertiliser in spring.

What size and height does the Camellia cuspidata shrub grow to?

The Camellia cuspidata shrub grows to a size of about 3 metres tall and the same width. A shrub of this size can be trimmed as necessary, which not only contains growth but also makes the plant bushier and can stimulate increased flowering. Any trimming is best undertaken after flowering.
