Description
The stunning, nearly perfect full double flowers of Pink Princess are packed with petals and produced in abundance during late winter to mid spring. Has demonstrated excellent cold resistance in our gardens and is extremely vigorous with an upright habit. The flowers are excellent for cutting and bringing indoors to display in your favorite vase. A beauty that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow (USDA Zones 7a-9b).
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide depending on pruning, the Pink Princess Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall.) As she grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive evergreen tree perfect for use as a focal point specimen in partially shaded landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to pink gardens, Camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
