Autumn Spirit Camellia – Hybrid – 1 Gallon Pot

Flower Color:  Bright Pink to Fuschia Pink 

Flower Size:  3-4″

A small growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 5 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide, Autumn Spirit can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall). Lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live above USDA Zone 6a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing:  4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
