Unlike most camellias, 'High Fragrance' is celebrated specifically for its powerful, delightful scent. It produces ruffled, light pink flowers against an open, upright evergreen habit. It thrives in Southeast Texas when protected from harsh afternoon sun. To ensure success in Houston's heavy clay, we strongly recommend planting in a raised bed or amended mound to provide the excellent drainage required to prevent root stress.
Exposure
Partial Sun to Shade (Filtered morning sun is best)
Height x Width
6-8 feet tall x 4-5 feet wide
Water
Moderate; prefers consistent moisture but requires superior drainage. Mulch to keep roots cool during Houston summers.
Zones
7 - 9
Fertilization
Feed with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring after the blooms have faded.
Pruning
Prune for shape immediately after flowering to avoid removing next season’s flower buds.
