Camellia hiemalis ‘Hiryu’
A compact, bushy evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green, holly-like leaves. In Winter, the plant is covered in beautiful double petaled white blooms with a creamy ruffled centre. Prune after flowering to desired height and shape, this will encourage a bushy growth habit and the future development of flowers. Camellias have moderate water requirements once established, deep soaking in the peak of summer will benefit the plant. Prefers to be grown in humus-rich soil which is well-draining. Use as a feature tree or as a tall hedge.
