More about Professor Sargent Camellia...Noteworthy Characteristics
Professor Sargent Camellia produces gorgeous fully double, dark red peony-like flowers. The flowers are 4 inches in size and begin opening in late winter, continuing through mid-spring. garden should be without at least one Professor Sargent!
Uses
Professor Sargent camellia can be used in the landscape to form tall, colorful, evergreen hedges and screens or used as a specimen shrub or tree in landscape beds and foundation plantings. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a large, blank wall.
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soiggy soil is a slow killer.

This plant arrived in very good condition and bloomed the first season it was planted. The flowers are beautiful! The plant has remained in very good condition and is growing well.
My camellia arrived this morning healthy and in good shape. Thank you for your prompt service and careful packing. It’s now on my patio in a misty south Georgia rain. I plan to get it in the ground tomorrow under a pine in my front yard next to my two favorite camellias. John Genrty
