Camellia japonica 'Volunteer' pbr
A remarkable deep pink-red Camellia, each petal with a distinctive frosted edge. It opens soft pink and white, before deepening through the season to dark pinky red and white, and ending up pure red at the end of flowering.
Cultural
Morning sun or part shade protected from hot afternoon sun and strong wind. Well drained, slightly acidic soil. Dense shade restricts flowering. Fertilise in spring and summer with a specific Camellia fertiliser or a complete organic fertiliser. Prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape.
Landscape Uses
Fantastic flowering garden shrubs, very hardy and drought tolerant once established. Suitable for growing in containers in small courtyard or entertaining areas. Plant with other traditional favourites like Azalea, Pieris and Helleboru
