This little Winter flowering showstopper has been putting on quite the show since late January and it's still blooming. This variety is being grown as an espalier container plant and goes by the name of Camellia 'Fairy Blush'. With delicate, apple blossom coloured blooms you can see how it got its name. This variety of Camellia is very compact growing - reaching a maximum height and spread of 4 to 5 feet. It enjoys filtered sun and is doing very well under the awning by the men's locker room entrance. Give it a little water if the top 3" of soil get dry otherwise it's a very low maintenance plant and can stop people in their tracks to see such a delicate bloomer so early in the season. I'm a big fan!
