Camellia Japonica 'In the Pink'

 

The In the Pink Camellia showcases refined rose-pink formal double blooms featuring precisely arranged overlapping petals and concealed reproductive structures, delivering sophisticated floral architecture. Its late-season flowering window—extending from winter through spring—provides extended ornamental interest during months when few competitors bloom. Lustrous deep-green evergreen foliage maintains year-round visual presence, creating an elegant backdrop to the delicate pink flowers. Reaching 10-15 feet at maturity with notably vigorous growth rate, this cultivar establishes landscape presence more rapidly than typical camellias, making it valuable for gardeners seeking substantial screening, specimen plantings, or naturalized compositions where accelerated development is advantageous. An exceptional choice for temperate regions where winter flowering adds seasonal dimension to the garden palette.

 

Camellia cultivation success depends fundamentally on establishing superior drainage, as these plants tolerate considerably drier conditions than commonly assumed. In clay-predominant soils typical of the Southeast, amending with pine bark soil conditioner creates the well-aerated, acidic growing medium camellias demand while preventing the waterlogging that precipitates root complications. This amendment strategy proves equally beneficial when establishing companion ericaceous plantings including rhododendrons, mountain laurel, and azaleas, creating cohesive soil conditions across shade garden compositions. Prioritizing drainage infrastructure during installation prevents fungal diseases and root rot, ensuring sustained plant vigor and reliable flowering performance throughout the camellia's lifespan.

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.
