Description
Camellia japonica comprises numerous cultivars and has also given rise to many hybrids. With its elegant spring flowering, it differs from the sasanqua species which flowers in the autumn-winter period. It belongs to the group of so-called 'acidophilic' species that require soils or substrates with an acidic pH, with optimum values between 5.0 and 5.5, in order to express the best vegetative development followed by a luxuriant flowering that will bring a distinctive ornamental accent to outdoor spaces such as flower beds, gardens and terraces.
