Description

Prized by camellia enthusiasts, the Guest Star Camellia is adored for her elegant, formal, fully double large flowers in white with shades of pink in several subtle variations. Lustrous rich green leaves provide a wonderful backdrop for the gorgeous flowers, which are excellent for cutting to display in your favorite vase. One thing for sure, when blooming over a long period from late winter into spring she will surely be the star of all your guests!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 7 to 8 or so feet wide, the Guest Star Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a hedge or background plant in partially shaded landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as a highly attractive focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, cottage gardens, pink gardens and cut flower gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
