Camellia

(Japanese Camellia) Japonica Black Lace

The Camellia Japonica Black Lace is an elegant evergreen shrub with glossy, deep green leaves and formal, double flowers in a dark, velvety red. It reaches about 250 cm in height and 120-150 cm in width at maturity. Plant 1 per square meter in a border, or in a large pot on the patio. The blooms open from late winter into spring, when the garden still needs colour. Seasonal changes may affect whether the plant arrives with flowers or buds.

Plant the Camellia in a sheltered spot in partial shade, away from strong midday sun and cold morning sun on the buds. It prefers slightly acidic, humus-rich soil with good drainage and does not like standing water. Water regularly during dry spells and keep the soil evenly moist, especially in pots, which dry out much faster. Prune lightly right after flowering to keep the shape, because the buds for next year form in summer. This Camellia is hardy, but in a pot or in a cold spot a layer of mulch and some fleece in severe frost protect the roots and buds.
