Camellia Japonica Triphosa

Camellia Japonica Triphosa 
This elegant and rare variety of Camellia was originally introduced in France, Camellias have never really gone out of fashion per se but at the height of their popularity, these large and pure blooms were highly sought after. Camellias are fairly slow growing so where budget permits it is best to buy the largest specimens to achieve the greatest impact.

Camellia Japonica Triphosa looks beautiful in a mixed border or Woodland garden and these stunning, pure white, cup-shaped flowers with a glorious yellow centre appear in clusters in early Spring. They provide a fabulous contrast with the glossy, leathery evergreen leaves.

Camellia Japonica Triphosa prefers a shady or semi shady spot and slightly acidic, moist, free draining soil. A light prune just once a year after flowering is all that is necessary to keep this Camellia in great shape. Camellia Triphosa will also thrive when grown in a container for the patio. Remember to feed it once a year with Camellia plant food (Ericaceous plant food that is slow release) and keep it watered.
