| Camellia japonica |
Aka: Japanese Camellia, Rose of winter
Plant dimensions can vary just as much as blossom variety does.
Camellias can be from little elegant small flowers to much larger types you may use for a display screen or hedge.
Camellia japonica cultivars flowers early in the year, generally about March and April.
They develop good in partial cover from the sun and really should be trimmed once they are finished putting out flowers.
Like countless from the South's much-loved decorative plants, camellias came from China and taiwan and arrived at Canada and America by way of Europe.
The genus Camellia contains numerous varieties, but of them, 3 have unique significance and attention as Southerly plants, they are:
Camellia japonica
Camellia sasanqua
Camellia sinensis
Specimens of Camellia japonica indicate the site of countless significant plantations and old homesteads all over the South.
While camellia japonica occasionally set seeds which can be germinated, the majority are duplicated from clippings or grafted to Camellia sasanqua rootstocks.
The attractiveness of the flowers challenges those of the peony and rose, as the leaves are beautiful all through the year, in accordance from a short article by Dr. Bill Welch, Texas A&M University.
Amazon can provide any need for Common Camellia.(I will receive compensation if you buy).
