More about this plant
A New Zealand raised hybrid of Camellia lutchuensis grown for its scent. Large light pink semi double flowers up to about 4 inches across open in late winter and spring and carry an unusually strong fragrance for a camellia. The plant is upright with an open form and takes partial sun outdoors or bright indirect light under cover, and it is rated hardy to zone 8. Like other camellias it needs well drained soil rich in organic matter, on the acid side, kept evenly moist, and it is best sheltered from full sun and drying winds. Site it where the fragrance can be appreciated, such as beside a walkway, a patio or a doorway.
