Camellia japonica Springs Promise
Hardiness Zones: 6 7 8 Description:
Spring’s Promise is a beautiful Camellia that gets its name from it’s long bloom period that lasts from late fall and into spring – longer than any other Camellia we have seen.
Spring’s Promise is one of the new winter- hardy ‘Ice Angels’ Camellias bred by Dr. Clifford Parks for hardiness in Zone 6 - a full zone hardier than regular Camellia japonicas.
The vivid single rose red blooms are two and a half inches wide with the petals radiating out from the center of golden yellow stamens - a real eye catcher. Shiny foliage is dark green. The plant matures with a spreading habit of six to eight feet by six to eight feet.
Camellias do best in acid, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Keep the roots cool with 3 inches of mulch. Choose a spot out of the winter winds with morning sun and afternoon shade. Against the east wall of a building is ideal. Cottonseed Meal fertilizer and Kelp Meal should be applied once during the period December through April. When necessary prune immediately after flowering. Once established, Camellias are extremely drought tolerant and do not require supplemental watering except in periods of extreme drought.
Camellia Spring’s Promise is ideal as a foundation plant, as a hedge, or naturalized in a woodland setting under large shade trees.
