Camellia ‘Kramer’s Beauty’

Camellia Japonica Kramer's Beauty

Camellia ‘Kramer’s Beauty’ is an evergreen shrub celebrated for its large, deep pink, semi-double blooms that emerge in late winter to early spring. Each flower showcases velvety petals surrounding bright yellow stamens, creating a striking contrast against the plant’s glossy dark green foliage. Its graceful, upright growth habit and reliable flowering make it a standout choice for adding color and elegance when few other plants are in bloom.

This camellia thrives in partially shaded or sheltered garden locations, offering year-round structure and beauty. Ideal for borders, foundation plantings, woodland gardens, or container displays, ‘Kramer’s Beauty’ combines charm and durability. Its consistent performance, lush evergreen leaves, and long-lasting flowers make it a favored choice for gardeners seeking a classic, low-maintenance winter-flowering shrub.

Care Instructions

Planting:

Select a partially shaded, protected site away from harsh winds and afternoon sun. Plant in spring or fall, keeping the root crown level with the soil.

Watering:

Keep soil evenly moist but well-drained. Deep water during dry periods, particularly in the first growing season.

Pruning:

Prune lightly after flowering to shape and remove weak, dead, or crossing branches. Avoid cutting into old wood.

Pest Control:

Inspect for aphids, scale, and mites. Treat infestations with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap as needed.

Soil Tips:

Prefers acidic, well-draining, organic-rich soil. Apply mulch such as pine bark or leaf mold annually to retain moisture and maintain soil acidity.
