Noteworthy Characteristics
Cotton Candy Camellia is a fall blooming Sasanqua variety that produces an abundance mesmerizing, fluffy, cotton candy pink, semi-double, fragrant blooms during fall to mid winter. This highly desirable ornamental bush has a sturdy, upright growth habit with small dark green leaves that make it useful as a hedge or a small evergreen tree form specimen.
Uses
Cotton Candy is a mid-size camellia that is useful to create colorful, evergreen hedges or screens. It can also be "limbed up" to form an attractive, evergreen small tree that can be useful as a focal point specimen. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a large, open wall.
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. Your new camellia should not need regular watering after the first year unless there are extended periods of dry weather during summer. Camellias do best in partial shade or filtered sun. Avoid afternoon direct sun
