We're delighted to have these lovely early flowering 'Rainbow' camellias available again at the nursery this week. Just as pictured they are still in tight bud, but over the coming weeks these fat buds will slowly open ready for a pretty late autumn display.
Camellia sasanqua are one of the earliest flowering camellia varieties and this pretty two-tone variety has single white flowers with a pretty pink edge and make a super gift.
Grown for us by one of our fabulous UK partner nurseries.
More pictures coming soon.

These Camellia (camellia sasanqua) will do best in the garden either in a pot or planted out into the ground. This variety is autumn flowering and will produce a flush of blooms from October to December.
Choose a sheltered, partially shaded position for your Camellia where you can enjoy the autumn flowers. Keep your plant well-watered, especially whilst in a pot, the compost should feel damp to the touch.
After flowering, your Camellia plant can be re-potted in a larger pot with ericaceous compost or planted out into the ground. Camellias like acidic soil, so choose compost suitable for rhododendrons, heathers and other acid-loving plants.
Over time Camellias can grow into quite substantial specimens several feet high. In China, where these plants originate, they have even been known to reach 15ft and 500 years old.
Problem Solving:
These are garden plants and will always be happiest outdoors in ericaceous soil. They do need well drained soil so do make sure that the excess water can drain out the bottom. Try to avoid a situation where the early morning sun shines on frosted plants because this can spoil the flowers.
