Camellia japonica 'Eleanor McCown'

 

Eleanor McCown developed this distinctive camellia hybrid in 1942, drawing on her renowned expertise in iris hybridization. The cultivar displays elegant white petals adorned with vibrant pinkish-red streaks, arranged in single to semi-double formations that evoke a burst of fireworks. As a Japonica variety, it produces its blooms during the midseason window, typically flowering from December through March depending on your regional climate conditions.

 

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