Description
Sure to be an eyecatcher that grabs ones attention, the exquisite flowers of the Omega Camellia have white petals that are streaked with coral from the edge of the petal back towards the center. The large, semi-double flowers begin appearing in late winter and continue through early to mid spring standing out nicely against a background of deep green leaves. An exceptionally vigorous grower that can reach upwards of 12 to 15 feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide over time. Lower branches can be removed to form an attractive and colorful evergreen tree perfect for use as a focal point specimen in partially shaded landscape spaces.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to about 10 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, the Omega Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as hedge or background plant in partially shaded landscape borders or is 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 highly attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where this cultivar is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet or more for solid hedge; 12 feet or more for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
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.
