Camellia Eugenia De Montijo

A hardy shrub, Camellia ‘Eugenia De Montijo’ is a vibrant and winter flowering making it a must have for your borders in the colder months. This Camellia displays stunning bright red double flowers which bloom in a profusion from late winter to early spring. This shrub is also evergreen with its glossy, dark-green oval leaves present all year round providing a great screen for other plants. ‘Eugenia De Montijo’ is a slow growing Camellia with a maximum height of 3 metres and spread of 2 metres. We recommend planting this at the back or middle of a mixed border giving your beds much needed winter colour and providing a great contrast to summer flowering specimens, although this Camellia is equally suited to container planting in a patio scheme. 

This Camellia prefers to be placed in moist but well-drained soil and partial shade, as too much sun will hurt its flowers. Make sure your soil is acidic or it is planted within ericaceous compost and as it is hardy it can thrive in sheltered or exposed gardens. 

Supplied in approx. 3 litre containers.
