Description

An old time favorite introduced in the early 1900’s, Debutante Camellia is a vigorous grower and prolific bloomer that produces an abundance of absolutely gorgeous, fully double, peony type pink blooms appearing from mid to late winter to early to mid spring. A jewel that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow (USDA Zones 7a-10b).

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 15 feet tall and 8-15 feet wide depending on pruning, Debutante Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, and in woodland gardens and borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 6 to 8 feet apart for solid hedge or privacy screen; 16 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, 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 honestly thought this was going to come to me as a stick. Instead I received a gorgeous large plant. I don’t have blooms yet but I sure do have buds. The plant itself arrived extremely healthy and wrapped perfectly. I ordered three of these. One for myself and two as a gift. I called the company with questions and was helped with my questions. I will be buying from this company again.—————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you and your friends enjoy them for years to come!
