Japonica Camellia ‘Pink Perfection’

‘Pink Perfection’ has been a Southern heirloom for over a century: small, shell-pink, perfectly formal double flowers — each like a little porcelain rosette — produced in quantity from winter into spring.

Grow it in morning sun or bright dappled shade with afternoon protection, in acidic, well-drained soil. The refined flowers and dense, glossy habit suit formal settings: flanking an entry, in a courtyard, or anywhere the blooms can be admired at close range.
