Description

An all-time favorite and top seller for obvious reasons…just look at it. Professor Sargent Camellia produces an abundance of stunningly gorgeous, fully double, peony-like brilliant red flowers that begin opening in late winter continuing through mid-spring. Even when not in bloom, the large, lustrous, evergreen, dark green leaves provide outstanding texture in the landscape. Excellent for cutting and use in indoor flower arrangements or just float one in a bowl of water.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 15 feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide depending on pruning, Professor Sargent 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 hedge or background plant. It is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) or corner plant in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

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.

I have not had good luck with growing Camellias but could not pass up the chance at trying again with this one, Professor Sargent. If the picture is true to form, the flowers are gorgeous, I have to try. I only purchased the 1 gallon because, as I said, my luck has not been good in the past with the Camellias from the local nurseries. The tree arrived fairly quickly and very well packaged. It is of a good shape and good color. I hope it will be happy here. Thank you Wilson Bros. You send top notch plants and I will shop with you again.———————-WBG Reply: Hi Anna, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Professor Sargent Camellia.
