Description
In late winter though early spring, the Silver Waves Camellia features large and spectacular silvery-white semi-double flowers with “wavy” petals that surround a boss of some of prettiest and prominent bright golden-yellow stamens you’ve ever seen on a Camellia! The glossy, dark-green leaves contrast well with the gorgeous white flowers. To enjoy them indoors display several cuttings in a vase.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, the Silver Waves 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 in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As it grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to white color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more 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.
