Camellia Japonica 'C.M. Hovey'


C.M. Hovey Camellia; also known as Colonel Fiery Camellia has a striking, large, formal, dark red to rose pink blooms winter through mid spring accompanied by its year round lustrous, glossy, deep-green foliage. This evergreen reaches a mature height and width of 6 to 8 feet. 


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.
