Description

A site to behold, the perfectly symmetrical fully double blooms of the ‘Pearl Maxwell’ Camellia almost don’t look real! The flowers are loaded with soft pink petals that begin coming in late winter or early spring. The deep green lustrous leaves are the perfect backdrop for the flowers. Excellent for cutting to display in your favorite vase or to float in a bowl of water. A stunning beauty that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow (USDA Zones 7a-10b).

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide depending on pruning, the Pearl Maxwell Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall.) As she grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive evergreen tree perfect for use as a focal point specimen in partially shaded landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to pink gardens, Camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where not 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.
