Description / Camellia japonica Mrs. R.L. Wheeler
Mrs. R.L. Wheeler is perfect for anyone looking to add some soft elegance to their landscape. This mid-to-late season bloomer boasts romance, with light pink, pointed petals. The blooms contrast against its dark evergreen foliage beautifully. It will bring a graceful atmosphere to your garden anywhere you decide to plant it.
Camellias are a staple of southern gardens, with their colorful blossoms held against deep rich green glossy foliage on a naturally upright to rounded evergreen shrub. They make great foundation plantings or settle them up against a wall or garage for a eye drawing space in your landscape. You can even pick the flowers and float them in a bowl of water to bring their beauty indoors.
Camellias prefer an acidic, humus rich soil with an organic mulch and average moisture. Once well-established they need little additional care and will continue to perform for years to come. Most Camellias do best where they get light shade or morning sun and the light filtered shade of pines seems to be perfect.
Don't delay on grabbing this stunner for your landscape today!
