Camellia rosthorniana Cupido

Description

New to our range of shrubs for 2018, be one of the first to have this fabulous Camelia in your garden next spring!
Be the envy of your gardening neighbours and welcome in the gardening year with this unusual Camelia, with pink buds forming along the slender branches and then opening to reveal perfectly formed, small white flowers, flushed with pink on the outer edges. To add to the stunning show, new shoots are red when they first emerge, creating a fiery burst of spring colour.
Camellia rosthorniana Cupido® is a compact, evergreen shrub with an upright pyramidal growth, making it an excellent specimen for a container on your patio or in your flower border, providing structure and colour throughout the year. This means that you can enjoy the colour spectacle not only from your garden, but also from a patio or balcony.
A definite sight to behold, 'Cupido' provides year-round garden interest, with its pastel flowers, flaming shoots and glossy leaves.
Camellia rosthorniana Cupido® is an award-winning plant – winner of a Bronze Medal Plantarium 2012 – and performs best in partial shade in moist, well-drained soil.
Suppled as an established plant in a 13cm pot, ready for planting out.
