Description
Beginning in mid to late winter and continuing through early spring, the Fifth Avenue Camellia produces an abundance of absolutely gorgeous, fully double, large (4-6 inches across) peony-like white flowers. Its beautiful dark green foliage provides the perfect backdrop and contrast for the bright white flowers. To enjoy them indoors, display several cuttings in a vase or float just one in a bowl of water.
Landscape & Garden Uses
A moderate to tall growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, Fifth Avenue can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall.) When “limbed up” to form a small tree it serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where not winter hardy.

Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 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.
