Camellia lutchuensis x ‘High Fragrance’

Japanese evergreen shrubs with broad, glossy foliage and attractive winter blooms. This remarkable hybrid produces medium-sized, peony-form flowers in a delicate ivory-pink hue, each carrying a strong, sweet fragrance that gently fills the air. The plants perform best when grown in filtered light and in well-amended, well-drained soil; they are sensitive to deep planting, so avoid setting them too low in the ground. Blooms appear from midseason to late, and the shrubs develop a vigorous, upright, densely branched habit that makes them excellent for specimen planting or sheltered garden borders.
