---

Spacing:  6′ for solid hedges; 16’+ for space between plants

Flower Color:  Fuchsia-Purple aging to medium to Light Purple

Flower Size:  Large, 2.5-3″

Growing 8-12 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide, the Bonanza Camellia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this one grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a magnificent small tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in partially shaded environments that provide some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours.  A fine addition to camellia gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Spacing:  6 feet apart for solid hedge; 16 feet 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.
