Camellia Sunsong

Sunsong Camellia

The Sunsong Camellia is grown for its double, bright pink flowers through winter and spring. The showy blooms are complemented with glossy, dark green foliage. This evergreen shrub grows relatively compactly with an upright habit to about 2.5 m tall and 2 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 Sunsong 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.
