Camellia 'Swan Lake'

Camellia 'Swan Lake' Details

“Swan Lake” is an evergreen shrub that produces masses of showy, double, cream-white flowers. The exquisite blooms are borne through winter and spring and contrast nicely with the glossy, dark green foliage. It grows relatively compactly with an upright habit to about 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of cool and humid climates as well as moderate frost once established. “Swan Lake” is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage and “white” gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container. For hedging space plants 50 cm apart.
