Camellia Rainbow produces fragrant, white flowers which mature to become entirely pink. These spectacular blooms appear from winter through spring and contrast well with the glossy, green foliage as it grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Camellia Rainbow is commonly grown as 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.

Growing Camellia Rainbow Successfully in NZ

Camellia Rainbow thrives in NZ's temperate climate with well-drained soil and partial shade. Ensure you plant it in a sheltered spot away from harsh winds to protect the blooms. Soil enriched with organic matter will promote healthy growth and flowering. Regular watering during dry periods helps maintain vibrant foliage and flowers.

Camellia Rainbow Care Tips

Water regularly during dry spells, prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and mulch to retain moisture. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to boost bloom production. Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids and treat early to avoid damage. Removing spent flowers encourages further blooming and keeps the plant tidy.

Plant Size and Spacing

Camellia Rainbow typically grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Allow space for healthy growth and good air circulation. Proper spacing reduces disease risk and encourages robust development. Consider the mature size when planting near pathways or other plants to avoid overcrowding. Regular pruning can help maintain preferred shape and size in confined spaces.
