Camellia 'Spring Festival'
- A brilliant choice for UK gardeners, this camellia offers profuse, miniature semi-double pink blooms resembling tiny roses. The overall effect is nothing short of spectacular.
- As it establishes, this camellia forms an incredibly narrow, upright, and bushy growth habit. Furthermore, its glossy evergreen leaves bringing year-round elegance provides brilliant visual interest even when not in flower.
- You can expect rapid, healthy establishment in acidic soil within a sheltered, partially shaded location. You will be delighted to find it is remarkably undemanding and settles in quickly.
- It acts as a vital stepping stone for early spring pollinators all year round. Its elegance deservedly won it the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
- It carries a fascinating legacy: camellias are closely related to the famous tea plant. While ornamental, they share this aristocratic botanical lineage.

Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
