Description
With your eyes closed you’d think you were smelling a rose. One of our favorite of all Camellia, High Fragrance is a hybrid that produces an abundance of beautiful, large and fully double peony form soft pink flowers with an alluring rose-like fragrance! An upright grower with an open habit. Be assured that every winter and spring this Camellia will delight the senses and become part of your gardening tradition.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 5 to 8 feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide depending on pruning, the High Fragrance Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall.) When “limbed up” to form a small tree it serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, to frame corners, as a single specimen shrub or tree, screen or windbreak plantings, home foundations, in woodland gardens, and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 8a, where not winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
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.

I ordered 2 of these and they both arrived well packaged and healthy. One had a bud starting already. The plants were a nice size, about 12″ tall. I planted them a couple days later and they seem to be fine. Not much growth yet but they look healthy still.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Outstanding packaging. Plants are perfect and so healthy. My first bud just bloomed. Flower is simply gorgeous and the smell is just like a rose. I am so pleased and will try other varieties of high fragrance camellias. Thank you.————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I wondered how plants would do in the mail. The plant arrived early, in just a couple of days. The weather in the south was mild that week (January) so it wasn’t exposed to any extremes. It was surprisingly well packaged. The leaves were luxuriantly green and the roots were healthy and plentiful. I planted it two weeks ago and it is flourishing so far. There were no buds on the plant so I won’t see how the blooms look or smell until next year. I can’t wait. Very satisfied.——————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I have gotten a refresher course in good old-fashioned business!
I have a very special email for your sales rep Jen. Her customer service skills are impeccable.
In fact I look forward to regular future business relationship very soon, as I venture into retirement.
But we all know you can’t keep a good gardener down.
I can’t give you details, but you can expect a barrage of orders, especially from West Hartford, CT
Especially the sub-trop camellias, with a rose fragrance?! I’ve searched for that plant my entire 40 year career for that plant!
I KNEW they existed, and you had the secret key! Lol
You are an amazing company.
And I look forward to a long relationship with your company, follow the leader(s), that’s where their positive attitude comes from the top. How inspiring!
From that gardener who’s mastered his craft, indoors and out, job well done-??????
