Camellia Japonica Debutante

Camellias produce spectacular flowers in autumn and winter when little else is in colour. They prefer slightly acidic soil and protection from hot afternoon sun. Part shade to full sun - morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. Slightly acidic, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil. Mulch heavily. Water consistently. Feed with an acid-forming fertiliser after flowering. Japonica Debutante is a classic soft pink double - a traditional variety with elegant, full flowers and reliable annual flowering.
