⭐ Additional Variety Information
You will receive (1) healthy, well-rooted Camellia japonica starter plant shipped in its pot. The second photo shows the typical size range of the plants available. Plants may arrive smaller or larger than those pictured, but all are healthy, well-rooted, and currently growing in 3-inch pots.

Important Note:
This is a young starter plant. Listing photos may show more mature plants for reference. Actual plant size and appearance may vary.

We strongly recommend leaving the plant in its original pot for at least 30 days after arrival to help it adjust and recover from shipping stress. After that, transplant only into a 4-inch pot and allow the plant to outgrow that container before moving it to a larger pot or planting it in the ground.

Do not place this young plant in direct sunlight. Gradually introduce it to more sunlight over several weeks as it matures. Camellias prefer morning sun with light afternoon shade.

This is a hard-to-find Camellia japonica variety not commonly available in stores.
Mature size is approximately 8–12 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide. Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 7–10.
Place the plant in a protected location away from cold winds to help protect buds and flowers.
