Description

With so many beautiful faces it’s really difficult to describe the Grace Albritton Camellia. What we can say is that if you want to add a totally unique and elegant appearance to the garden – look no further. The Grace Albritton Camellia presents its large, uniquely colored, fully double, white to shades of soft pink flowers with multiple variations and patterns of markings in shades of lavender, pink or red in late winter and early spring. The flowers also appear in various forms and petal formations. One thing for sure, when Grace Albritton is blooming in late winter into spring she will surely catch the eye of every passerby. Lustrous rich green leaves provide a wonderful backdrop for the gorgeous flowers, which are excellent for cutting to display in your favorite vase.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 7 to 8 or so feet wide, the Grace Albritton Camellia 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 in partially shaded landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as a highly attractive focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, cottage gardens, and cut flower gardens. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

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.

After an online search, I bought this beautiful camellia as a Christmas gift and had it shipped to my Oklahoma SIL. She was so thrilled to get her surprise gift–I was still addressing a card to tell her it was coming and it had already gotten there–and this was right before Christmas! She said it was packaged perfectly and even had some buds on it! We’re all thrilled with the purchase and with Wilson Brothers and have plans to send more gift plants. They seem to really care about their customers and I believe they will be available for advice and support.
Thank you Wilson Brothers!—————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope she enjoys it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
