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.

The bloom is so beautiful and the colors so delicate and delightful!————————————I love Camellias too! Thanks for the wonderful review! Beth|WBG

Thank you. We won’t see the blooms for a while of course, but the plants themselves arrived in perfect condition, were beautifully packed, and were still moist. The plants are very healthy with perfect leaves and have lovely shapes. We ordered 6 more camellias from you and may order a few more. Your quality is nop notch!——————————————–Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG

I can speak about the # 1 thing that every plant I had selected “spoke to me” and that “one thing” is uncompromising quality! It is quality in the plants; quality in the shipping process and the values in the fair pricing.
With not even one “miss,”among all I have order, you have earned and reinforced my trust! That is saying quite a bit these days! I keep reordering because your nursery products are “worth the $$”!
Two things that I have been patiently waiting on is: PIUS IX Camellia japonica and August Beauty gardenia. I hope that you will have them “for sale” soon again (in the large containers!)
Thanks guys! You both “rock!”
Most sincerely.—————————————————Thanks so much for your wonderful review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG

I ordered 2 different camellias from Wilson Bros. Both were packaged and shipped very quickly. I had the plants within a week. They were packaged perfectly. The root ball on both plants were a little small and didn’t fill out the 3 gallon pots. That said, the plants were extremely healthy and pushing out new growth. It’s only been a couple of weeks in the ground, but they have really taken off, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to order more plants from them. very satisfied.——————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

My partner and I have a small terrace that serves as our oasis in the city. We decided to add a few more flowering perennials to our garden and happened upon the Wilson Brothers site. What caught our attention were the detailed plant descriptions, the variety of plants, and the site ease of use. In the case of the Grace Albritton Camellia, we were able to find the camellia we wanted at Wilson Brothers after having visited a few local nurseries without success. We continue to buy from Wilson Brothers based on the care used to prepare plants for shipping as well as the packaging. Each plant we have ordered has arrived in excellent condition.—————————–WBG Reply: Hi Herbert, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Grace Albritton Camellia. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words!

Both plants I ordered arrived in fantastic shape. One of the plants has bloomed allowing us to see what the blooms will look like once the plants mature.—————————–WBG Reply: Hi Richard, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Grace Albritton Camellia.
