Camellia x williamsii ‘Senorita’ is a stunning evergreen shrub that grows flamboyant, wavy peony-form flowers in shades of pink that resemble a flamenco dancer’s skirt. These wavy petals unfurl to reveal a cluster of golden stamens that complement each other perfectly.
Flowering profusely from February through to April, ‘Senorita’ provides a splash of colour during the colder months, bringing colour when little else is in bloom. Its glossy, evergreen leaves provide a lush backdrop for the blooms, ensuring that the plant remains attractive throughout the year.
Growing to a mature height of up to 3m in the UK, Camellias are a versatile shrub that can be planted in borders, containers, or even as a specimen plant. Their compact growth habit makes them ideal for smaller gardens, while their tolerance of shade allows them to thrive in a variety of locations.
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.
Easy to care for, Camellia x williamsii ‘Senorita’ requires little more then regular watering and occasional feeding (we recommend Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron Continuous Release Plant Food or Liquid Ericaceous Feed). With its stunning blooms and low-maintenance requirements, this camellia is a surefire way to add beauty and elegance to your garden.
