EG Waterhouse Pink Camellia in 4 inch pot *Cold and Heat Sensitive* Cannot Ship Out of the USA

$23.95$40.95

One of if not the longest flowering camellias in our gardens, E.G. Waterhouse produces an abundance of perfectly formed, absolutely gorgeous formal double flowers with true pink petals from mid winter to mid spring. Flowers begin to appear in January or February and continue through April! The glossy, dark green leaves provide the perfect backdrop for the medium to large flowers. The flowers are wonderful in a vase where they can be displayed in the home or float just one in a bowl of water.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 9 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 9 feet wide, E.G.Waterhouse 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 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, pink theme 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.

Suggested Spacing: 6-7 feet apart for solid hedge; 11-12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Description

Proud Products Guarantee!!

Plants from Daylily Nursery are guaranteed to arrive healthy and green. If you have any concerns or are dissatisfied within the first five days of receiving your plants, please email or call our office so that we can help make it right! Plants require proper care and nourishment to adapt to their new surroundings. Unfortunately, if your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn’t covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings.
Exercise caution and use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water during the hotter, dryer periods of the summer. Late fall and winter are very risky in most areas, as our plant material ships from cozy greenhouses and will struggle adapting to very cold or frozen soil, or abrupt changes in temperature. This can easily cause damage, stunting, or failure to thrive. When in doubt about suitable planting times or zone compatible plants for your area, reach out to your local Agricultural Extension Office.
If issues with your plants arise within the first 30 days of receipt, please email or call our office. Our knowledgeable staff will review your concerns and provide guidance and troubleshooting, or a one-time replacement if necessary. The customer assumes responsibility for the cost of shipping the replacement. Happy Planting!
