Camellia ‘Tricolour’

Every garden needs a camellia plant or two! Or three? Camellia ‘Tricolour’ is the result of a unique growing concept which gives the illusion of three flower colours growing on one plant. We supply you with three varieties of camellia, growing in a single pot. As the plants mature, they intertwine with each other to stunning effect, seemingly producing an array of pink, white and red flowers on a single plant. Camellias are hugely popular low-maintenance shrubs, providing beautiful blooms from early spring, which look stunning against their glossy evergreen foliage. When planted at the back of a border, the dark evergreen leaves of this slow-growing shrub will set off your summer flowering perennials to great effect. Camellia flowers can be cut for a vase if you like to enjoy them indoors. Perfect plants for acidic borders, camellias can also be grown as spectacular specimen plants in large containers of ericaceous compost. Height: 200cm (78″). Spread: 150cm (59″).

Culinary note: The flowers can be used as garnishes but are also dried and then cooked in Asian cuisine. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
