Camellia Sugar Dream

Sugar Dream Camellia

The Sugar Dream Camellia is grown for its fragrant, semi-double, flowers through winter and spring. The ruffled, soft-pink blooms with a cream centre are complemented with glossy, dark green leaves. This evergreen shrub grows relatively compactly with an upright habit to about 1.5 m tall and 1 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 Dream 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.
