Camellia japonica 'Tri Color'

Camellia Tri Color is an eye-catching evergreen shrub celebrated for its extraordinary multicolored flowers. Each plant produces blooms in varying shades of red, pink, and white, sometimes even combining all three colors on a single flower. Blooming from late fall through early spring, this camellia adds vibrant interest when many other plants are dormant. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop year-round, making it a standout feature in both formal and natural garden designs.

Well-suited to partially shaded landscapes, Camellia Tri Color thrives in mild climates and works beautifully as a specimen plant, hedge, or accent in woodland gardens. With proper care, it can live for decades, rewarding gardeners with consistent flowering and timeless beauty. Though elegant in appearance, it is surprisingly resilient when planted in the right conditions.

Care Instructions:

Planting:
Plant in partial shade, protected from harsh afternoon sun and strong winds. Dig a wide hole and position the plant slightly above soil level to ensure good drainage.

Watering:
Water deeply and regularly, especially during establishment. Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.

Pruning:
Prune lightly after flowering to shape and remove dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning, which can reduce blooms.

Pest Control:
Watch for aphids, scale, and spider mites. Treat infestations early with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap.

Soil Tips:
Prefers acidic, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Amend soil with compost or pine bark to improve structure and maintain proper pH.
