Camellia Nuccio's Cameo

Camellia Nuccio's Cameo is renowned for its exquisite, formal double flowers that boast a delicate blend of coral-pink shades. This variety produces a profusion of blooms from mid-winter to early spring, making it a standout during the cooler months when the garden palette is typically more subdued. The flowers are elegantly structured, creating a stunning visual display against the backdrop of dark green, glossy leaves.

Well-suited for a range of garden styles, including formal, cottage, and Asian-inspired designs, Nuccio's Cameo is ideal for use as a feature plant in garden borders, as part of a mixed display, or as an ornamental hedge. Its growth habit is upright and compact, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or residential landscapes where space might be limited but visual impact is desired.

Preferring partially shaded and shelted locations from harsh sun and wind, Nuccio's Cameo thrives in well-draining, acidic soil. Regular watering, especially in dry periods, will help keep it healthy and support its floweing prowess.

It typically grows to about 1.5m high and 1m wide, forming a neat, dense evergreen shrub.
