Description

An oldie-but-goodie introduced in 1936, the Romany Camellia has stood the test of time for very good reasons. It is a vigorous and larger growing variety that can reach 12 to 15 tall and 8 to 10 feet wide so is excellent for a tall screen or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive flowering evergreen small tree. In late winter to early spring it puts on a truly spectacular show of abundant formal double flowers with vivid rosy pinkish red flowers with an amazing color that no photos can truly capture. The flowers are excellent for cutting and display in a vase or float just one in a bowl of water. When not in bloom the large, lustrous, evergreen, dark green leaves provide outstanding texture in the landscape. This is one that will always have you looking forward to late winter and early spring.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, depending on pruning, the Romany Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as hedge or background plant. It is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) or corner plant in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, and woodland borders.

Suggested Spacing: 7 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants

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.
