Description
A very rare and cold hardy hybrid Camellia, ‘Frost Princess’ features abundant and beautiful bowl-shaped single to semi-double flowers with soft pink petals kissed with a touch of lavender surrounding a prominent boss of golden stamens. The petals fade to a frosty soft pink around the edges. Flowers come in fall to early winter and are backed by lustrous, deep green foliage.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide, the Frost Princess Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is also especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As the plant grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive and colorful small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
