Inspired by a classical Japanese art form, the Daikagura camellia delivers theatrical beauty through its unpredictable blooms. Each peony-form flower presents a unique palette—from deep carmine with white accents to soft pink-edged ivory or solid crimson—ensuring no two seasons look identical. This evergreen shrub thrives in part shade to dappled sunlight with naturally restrained, compact growth, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a sophisticated specimen that rewards patience with year-round foliage and spring spectacle.
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.
