Camellia japonica 'Golden Anniversary' (4 litre pot)

Camellia japonica 'Golden Anniversary' is a beautiful evergreen shrub with glossy deep green foliage and fully-petalled creamy-white flowers.

It is ideal for celebrating a special occasion that can be enjoyed and admired for many years to come. Plus, it's great for bringing colour, interest and height to a range of places around the garden, from terraces or patios to beds and borders.

Camellias are lime-hating plants, meaning that they do not grow well in alkaline-based soils. So if your garden soil is more alkaline, then we would highly recommend planting this Camellia into a large pot or container with ericaceous compost. Best located in a sheltered and partly shaded spot. This Camellia will tolerate some sun if the roots are kept cool, but in cooler locations, it will thrive best in a glasshouse or conservatory with shading from summer sun.

We recommend watering the camellia well before removing from the pot and when planting on, use ericaceous compost and a fertiliser or feed suitable for ericaceous plants, such as Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron Continuous Release Plant Food or Liquid Ericaceous Feed.
