Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Jewel’ grows charming, fully-double, pale pastel pink flowers when little else in the garden is in bloom.
Appearing from as early as February through to April, these stunning flowers appear through thick, dark-green, dense, evergreen foliage creating a beautiful colour contrast.
‘Nuccio’s Jewel’ will look fantastic when planted in a container or a shrub border, growing to a compact size of around 2-3m in the UK and offering consistent year-round interest.
They can be planted any time of the year, so long as the ground is not too frosty. Look for a position of partial or dappled shade, preferably with a dose of early morning sun but with protection from the most intense mid-day heat.
They are lime-hating plants, meaning that they do not grow well in alkaline-based soils, so if your garden soil is more alkaline, then make sure to use a healthy amount of ericaceous compost when planting into a large pot or container. Water the camellia well before removing it from the pot and when planting on, use ericaceous compost and a fertiliser or feed that is suitable for ericaceous plants, such as Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron Continuous Release Plant Food or Liquid Ericaceous Feed.
