Botanical Pronunciation | kuh-MEE-lee-uh juh-PON-ih-kuh |
---|---|
Lore | A hybrid of two japonica varieties Camellia japonica 'Berenice Boddy' and Camellia japonica 'Dr. Tinsley'. Selected at Camellia Forest Nursery in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This fast growing very cold hardy cultivar can be dependably grown to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Produces semi-double 4-inch blooms. |
Average Size at Maturity | Reaches 6 to 8 ft. tall and wide; slowly grows larger with age. |
Bloom Time | Fall through Mid-Spring |
Design Ideas | Such glorious blossoms should be reserved as a high profile focal point for close range at entries and for viewing through picture windows. Makes a superior foundation cover-up that cloaks featureless walls on more sun-challenged exposures. Deserves front yard stature or position at special points around patio or terrace. Beautiful evergreen foliage makes a fine informal hedge, screen or dark background for bright blooming beds and borders. Brings glossy foliage and elegance into dull woodland settings under big old shade trees. Well-adapted to the acidic soils beneath oaks, conifer and maples as well as mixed groves. |
