Camellia Sugar and Spice

Sugar And Spice Camellia

The Sugar and Spice Camellia is grown for its fragrant, semi-double, clear pink flowers through winter and spring. It bears glossy, green leaves which complement the flowers nicely. This evergreen shrub grows relatively compactly with an upright habit to about 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. It performs best when grown in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic, and is tolerant of frost once established as well as cool, and humid climates. The Sugar and Spice Camellia is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, added to a mixed planting, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
