Camellia High Fragrance
Camellia High Fragrance is an enchanting evergreen shrub renowned for its exquisite pink blooms and delightful, sweet fragrance, making it a must-have for any garden enthusiast. The large, semi-double flowers feature delicate, pale pink petals with deeper pink highlights that create a romantic and captivating display. Blooming from late winter through early spring, High Fragrance Camellia brings a much-needed burst of color and scent to the garden when most other plants are still dormant. This camellia’s intoxicating fragrance is rare among camellias, adding an extra sensory experience to its visual beauty. The lush, glossy, dark green foliage is a perfect backdrop to highlight the flowers, ensuring this camellia remains a focal point in the landscape.
Camellia High Fragrance thrives in partial shade, where it benefits from morning sun and protection from harsh afternoon sunlight. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter, which helps it produce healthy foliage and abundant blooms. With a mature height of 6 to 8 feet and a spread of 4 to 6 feet, this shrub is ideal for use as a specimen plant, a flowering hedge, or a charming addition to mixed borders. Its upright growth habit makes it well-suited for both formal and informal garden designs, and it also works wonderfully as an espalier, adding vertical interest along walls or fences. This deer-resistant variety provides year-round beauty with its evergreen foliage, creating structure and elegance even outside of its blooming season.
Whether used as a focal point or planted in a group, Camellia High Fragrance will transform your garden with its delightful fragrance and captivating blossoms. It can also be grown in large containers, making it an excellent choice for patios or decks where the sweet scent can be fully enjoyed. With proper care, including regular watering, mulching, and fertilizing in early spring, Camellia High Fragrance will thrive, rewarding you with lush evergreen foliage and stunning, aromatic blooms that will enchant the senses and elevate your outdoor space.
