Description
Camellia wil. Volunteer
Camellia williamsii Volunteer is a handsome evergreen camellia with glossy dark green leaves and large, richly pink flowers with distinct white-edged petals, appearing from late winter into spring. Best in partial shade and a sheltered spot, it thrives in moist but welldrained, humusrich acid soil. An upright, bushy grower, it makes a refined specimen or a standout feature in mixed borders and woodland-style plantings; prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
