Description

A vigorous grower with a dense and upright columnar habit, the Morning Glow Camellia produce an abundance of gorgeous, large, and formal double flowers with rows of overlapping petals that are slightly cupped and porcelain white. No visible stamens though there is a soft yellow glow at the center. The gorgeous flowers appear mid to late winter and continue well into spring. Perfect for cutting and use in indoor flower arrangements or just float one in a bowl of water.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, the Morning Glow Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub this beauty 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 the plant grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive and colorful small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, white theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland 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: 3 to 4 feet apart for a solid hedge; 8 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.

Ordered this plant in late June for early July delivery. I was a little concerned about the time the plant would spend in a truck, given the heat wave across the country, but it arrived in perfect condition with new growth along the tips of branches. It has settled well into its new environment and has even grown since receipt! Looking forward to seeing blossoms in 6 months or so.————————————————Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This is the third order I’ve p[aced with Wilson Bros. and the second Camelia-Morning-Glow I’ve ordered. Wilson Bros. ships immediately and their plants are well protected during shipment. They arrive beautiful and lush. This Camelia was no exception. It is gorgeous. I will not hesitate to order again if the need or desire arise.—————————————-Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review!

I am really impressed with the service and my order from Wilson Brothers Gardens. Ordering was easy. Plants arrived quickly and they were well packaged. The quality of the bushes were outstanding. I would recommend Wilson Brothers Gardens to everyone and I will be using them again in the future.
Thank you.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! Beth | WBG 🙂

I can speak about the # 1 thing that every plant I had selected “spoke to me” and that “one thing” is uncompromising quality! It is quality in the plants; quality in the shipping process and the values in the fair pricing.
With not even one “miss,”among all I have order, you have earned and reinforced my trust! That is saying quite a bit these days! I keep reordering because your nursery products are “worth the $$”!
Two things that I have been patiently waiting on is: PIUS IX Camellia japonica and August Beauty gardenia. I hope that you will have them “for sale” soon again (in the large containers!)
Thanks guys! You both “rock!”
Most sincerely.———————————————-We are so very glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the awesome review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Seven days in shipping and both Camellias arrived in great shape. The camellias did experience a little bit of initial shock after planting, however, both are happy in their new holes. I look forward to seeing the full potential of these beauties. Thanks Wilson Bros!—————————————————————-So glad they got over their shock!

Very happy with this company. The Camelias I ordered arrived shipped to Virginia in perfect shape. Healthy plants. Will definitely order again.———————————–Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG

I have ordered a number of plants online, but this was my first time ordering from Wilson Bros. This was, by far, the best order I have ever received. The plant was in wonderful condition! It arrived in a timely manner and was larger than I expected. Wilson Bros obviously takes very good care of their stock. Also, the packaging was minimal and was cardboard (not plastic), which is very important to me. The plant has been in the ground for about two weeks now and it is thriving. I am definitely going to make Wilson Bros my go to for future orders.——————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

This plant was delivered quickly and in very healthy condition — tbd on how it grows and flowers, but I was very happy with the order and delivery process.———————-We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

First purchase from your company and I was more than pleased! The size and health of the plant exceeded my expectations. Plant arrived in excellent health even being shipped clear across the country and no breakage whatsoever as the packaging is very secure. I will definitely be ordering from your company again in the future. Exceptional service in every way, thank you!—————————————Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG

I bought two last September, and now in late March (7 months later), they are blooming (here in NY)! I am glad that the buds didn’t fall off the first year, and even before they flowered, the foliage itself is beautiful that you can enjoy them year around. I kept on composting near the base of the plants throughout fall/winter (but not excessive amount, lest they ‘burn’ the roots), and that could have helped the plants thrive so well.

Plants arrived quickly and in great condition! It was already blooming and kept all its blooms when planted! It has taken my yard up to eleven.———————————-Hi Lauren, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Morning Glow Camellia Japonica. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review!! 🙂
