Camellia Japonica Odoratissima - 20cm

Camellia japonica 'Odoratissima' is an evergreen camellia grown for glossy deep-green foliage and elegant flowers that provide colour through the cooler part of the year. It makes an attractive specimen shrub for sheltered garden beds, courtyards and large containers, particularly where protection from harsh afternoon sun can be provided. The dense foliage gives useful year-round structure, while the flowers create a refined seasonal display. Camellias are especially effective in layered planting with azaleas, ferns and other plants that enjoy similar protected conditions. Allow the plant to develop naturally rather than pruning it heavily.
