These spectacular blooms contrast well with the glossy, green foliage as it grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide.

How to grow the best Camellia K Sawada hedge

Growing the best Camellia K Sawada hedge starts with determining how far apart to space the plants. As a general guide, a spacing of 50 cm between the plants is the ideal spacing for a Camellia hedge. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can close the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two impacts. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and as they do this, they push each other upwards. The Plant Company recommends a 40-50 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge.
