About This Product

Looking for a beautiful evergreen shrub with spring flowers and an alluring perfume? The Camellia High Fragrance plant is the shrub for you! Unique to other types of camellias, the High Fragrance Camellia has soft, fragrant flowers. Only a handful of fragrant camellia varieties have a noticeable scent so this one is extra special and perfect for any landscape needing a small tree!

Highlights

  • Beginning in the mid to late season, the Camellia x High Fragrance will bloom large pink flowers for all to see. The soft pink flowers are remarkable and contrasted by the dark green foliage that stays evergreen all year long. Beginning in the fall, you will see the buds forming to open up from January through March. The camellia flower scent can be described as similar to roses, peonies, or jasmine.
  • Camellias make an excellent focal point in the garden. Plant them as stand-alone trees, in groups as a privacy hedge or shrub border, or in containers for small garden spaces. Choose a spot where the gorgeous ruffled flowers can be noticed by yourself, neighbors, or street passersby. Cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, or shade gardens are an ideal choice.
  • Grow the fragrant camellia across the United States in USDA hardiness zones 7-10. For growers in colder climates, you can keep the Camellia High Fragrance in a container and bring it indoors or into a garage for winter until spring.
  • Camellia species like consistently moist but well-draining soil that is slightly acidic and fertile with nutrients. It is best to water the shrubs thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system. The mature size of the camellia plant is up to 5-8 feet tall and wide and has an upright growth habit. To create a camellia hedge, space the trees around 4 feet apart.
  • Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring to extend the bloom season. Mulch with a thick 2-inch layer of pine bark or pine straw to help retain moisture and protect the top of the root ball at the planting time.
  • In warmer climates, camellia japonica loves the shade during the hot afternoon sun. They are very adaptable and can be planted as understory trees with dappled shade. In cooler climates, full sun is best for optimum flower production. The best planting site for camellias would include morning sun and afternoon shade.
  • You can prune camellias to maintain the desired size and shape of your liking. The best time to prune camellias is in late spring once the plant has finished flowering. If you prune sooner than that in fall or winter, you will risk cutting off the precious flowers. We suggest pruning back any crossed branches, twiggy growth, or larger branches on overgrown camellias to get it to your desired height to stimulate new growth.

Questions & Answers

What size pot do you recommend for the 3 Gal Plants?FL zone 9b

Answer This Question

Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if you buy a 3 gallon size plant what size pot should you replant it in? Generally when replanting container to container you go one size up so in this case I would say a 7 gallon size pot. Jackie

    Will these survive snow in NJ?

    Answer This Question

    While the High Fragrance camellia can tolerate temperatures down to 10 F it will require cold protection at this temperature to prevent damage. Planting in a protected area out of the wind is recommended. Adding mulch around the base and wrapping with a winter protection wrap will still need to be provided even in a protected area. You could always consider growing it in a large container and moving in indoors during periods of snow/extreme cold. Jackie

      I REALLY want to use these as a privacy shrub/tree a set of 3. It will receive some morning shade until 10ish am, sun until 2ish pm, shade again, 5ish Sun again. I am in Texas zone 9. Would this thrive? I am also considering putting them in XXXXL POTS

      Answer This Question

      This shrub thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 7-10. Since you are in Texas Zone 9, it should do well. They prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, so your described location sounds ideal. As for planting in XXXXL pots, camellias can thrive in containers, provided they have adequate drainage and are watered appropriately.

        The camilla came with very sturdy packaging. It had many buds and they're now opening. There is some browning of the leaves and some buds and that's why only 4 stars, but overall I'm very happy with the fragrant camilla, and I'm hopeful it will grow beautifully. Would order again from Perfect Plants and Hope Depot.

          A very healthy and beatiful camellia. The shipping was good, no branches were broken, and it is thriving in a large pot in semi shade. Buds are forming for late winter bloom. I've always had great results ordering trees and shrubs from Home Depot

          Big healthy plant
          This is my second purchase of a camellia from Perfect Plants and have been very pleased and honestly, surprised at the quality that I received. I do a lot of online plant shopping and am aware of the quality of shipping and plant health. I wasn't sure about what I would get ordering an expensive shrub from an unknown plant dealer because I pretty much stick to ones that I know and trust. I ordered a 3 gallon High Fragrance camellia and it was large and healthy and full of buds. Shipping was fast and secure. The hardest part was getting it out of the box!
