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.
Magnoliaeflora Camellia
Camellia japonica 'magnoliaeflora'
Magnoliaeflora Camellia has been chosen for its true pale pink flower. We have several hot pink, true pink, reddish pink flowering camellias but we have not had a true pale pink variety recently. This one is very pretty when blooms in spring and grows very similar to most japonicas, upright and tall. Whether you are looking to add to your collection, need shade privacy, or just want an accent plant, Magnoliaeflora is a great choice!
