Camellia Holly Bright

(japonica) The very serrated foliage of this variety lends it a resemblance to the holly plant - hence its name. Upright and dense, it boasts semi-double peony-like blossoms of bright cherry-red which appear from February to April.

Use
Indoors: keep the plant inside in a cool room only when blooming, and water regularly. Outdoors: as an isolated specimen or in association with other acid-loving shrubs such as Azaleas, Magnolias or Rhododendrons. Patio or terrace: in a large container, or may be trained against a wall or trellis.

Planting
Ideally in partial shade, protected from cold winds. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and half-fill it with an acid compost. Remove the plant from its container and thoroughly soak the root ball. Place the plant (not too deeply) in the hole. Finish adding the compost. Water well.

Maintenance
Water regularly during flowering and dry weather. Add a specialised fertiliser each spring. Takes well to pruning after blooming.
