Camellia japonica 'Silver Anniversary' (4 litre pot)

Camellia japonica 'Silver Anniversary' is a beautiful evergreen shrub with glossy deep green foliage. It has fully-petalled white flowers and comes in a 4 litre pot.

Ideal for celebrating a special occasion, such as a Silver Anniversary or a special birthday. Plus, it's a great way to bring colour, interest and height to a terrace or patio.

In late winter, flowers form from large, round buds with large flowers blooming every year from February through to April. Camellia's 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 and in a sheltered and partly shaded spot.

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.
