Description
An extremely rare and beautiful late blooming Camellia japonica variety, ‘Dorothy Goddard’ features large, semi double to double or peony form bicolor flowers with pink petals that gradually transition to white around the edges. Blooms begin to appear in March in our north-central Georgia gardens. A moderate grower with an upright open form that can reach 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide at 10 years of age, Paulette Goddard can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive evergreen tree. The 5-inch diameter flowers are perfect for cutting and enjoying indoors in a vase or floating in a bowl.
Landscape & Garden Uses
A tall growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to 10 to 12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide over time, the Paulette Goddard Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant. It is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As it grows, lower branches can be removed to form a small tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to lavender, pink color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.
Suggested Spacing: 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 feet 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.
