Description

After many years in development, we are very excited to introduce this beautiful new fall blooming Camellia. ‘Maggie’s Pink’ is a sport from ‘Yuletide’, one of if not the most popular of all Camellia sasanqua varieties. She has all the outstanding characteristics of her parent except her petals are pink instead of red, but with the same prominent patch of bright golden-yellow stamens. Her abundant dogwood-shaped flowers bloom over an exceptionally long period beginning in mid fall and continuing all the way through the Christmas season. Dense, lustrous, dark green foliage on an upright form makes for a great hedge, small tree, or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall). A true garden jewel that we think deserves a spot in every landscape where it will grow!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing with a very upright habit 8 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Maggie’s Pink Camellia can be grown as a 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 your Camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive and colorful small small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, red theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter in zones north of USDA Zone 7a where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet more more apart for space between plants

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.
