Plant description
This evergreen shrub is a wonderful sight from midwinter to early spring, when its branches are laden with an abundance of formal, double blooms to 10cm across. Each one is a unique blend of blush, white and rich pink, and they are offset beautifully by the lustrous green foliage. A great addition to a partially shaded border, it also makes a handsome addition to a larger pot.

How to care for Camellia japonica Bonomiana:
To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
