Camellia Japonica 'C.M. Hovey'


This evergreen camellia cultivar produces commanding formal blooms in deep red to rose pink hues, flowering prolifically from winter into spring. The plant's year-round appeal stems from its lustrous, deep-green foliage that maintains visual interest beyond the blooming season. Reaching 6 to 8 feet at maturity, C.M. Hovey makes an elegant specimen for gardens seeking sustained seasonal color and refined architectural presence.


Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
