This camellia, planted three years ago, is bending to the ground with the weight of blossom.
I am constantly astonished by the camellia that I plonked into the earth in a shady spot about three years ago and that is now bent down to the ground in a profusion of pink blossom with the most perfect and exotic of flowers. I have even been able to cut some of the blossom and bring into the house this year. What fantastic value for money.
I think I paid about 10 euro for the plant and it has more than delivered value for money. At this time of the year in Ireland, the garden centres are full of show stoppers in a variety of colours. The bigger the plant, the more you can expect to pay for it. If you do not have one of these and want some instant spectacular colour next Spring, then consider purchasing one. They are surprisingly easy and won’t disappoint.
