Description

In late winter to through early spring the ‘Tama Bambino’ Camellia sports stunning, miniature rose-pink flowers that appear in various forms from semi-double to double to full peony. Some flowers have petals with a thin white border while others are solid in color and all these color variations and patterns can appear at the same time on the same plant! The glossy, very dark green leaves on this variety really make the flowers pop in the garden or in indoor cut flower arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, the Tama Vino 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 a hedge or background plant, in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As the plant grows, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive and colorful weeping focal specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red color theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, Asian gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter north of USDA Zone 7a, where this cultivar is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 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.
