Product Information
Camellia Japonica Dr. King, also known as the Japanese rose, is a must-have for any garden. The plant is native to China, Japan and Vietnam, where it grows high in the mountains. The Camellia Dr. King blooms as early as the end of winter, namely between January and April, making it the perfect plant to usher in spring. The plant has beautiful pink or red flowers with a yellow center and has tremendous bud formation, guaranteeing a color explosion in the early spring garden. The plant also provides color in the garden in winter, as it retains its foliage year-round. This makes it one of the best flowering plants for the northern European climate.
Care
A Camellia prefers a slightly acidic soil, preferably rich in humus. During the summer it is important to keep the soil around the plant well moist. The plant prefers to be in partial shade. Eventually the plant will grow into a large shrub, but several plants can also be put together to make one large shrub. Furthermore, the Camellia does not grow quickly, usually about 15-20 cm per year. Therefore, especially in the beginning, it is not necessary to prune the plant regularly. However, it is important to remove spent branches and spent flowers.
Plant height
Upon delivery, the plants have a height of 50 to 60 cm (measured incl. pot). The plants are delivered in pots with a diameter of 15cm.
