This handsome evergreen is a breeding breakthrough! Bred in China by Mr. Gao Jiyin, who has worked with camellia for over 50 years, and his colleagues Mr. Zhao Qiangmin and Mr. Liu Xinkai. Unlike most Camellias, which flower in spring, this extraordinary new variety is at its best from Summer! The ruffled, rosette blooms are borne continuously throughout summer, bringing an exotic feel to the garden. Camellia ‘1001 Summer Nights’ Jasmine is neat and compact, making it ideal for planting in patio containers. Thriving in sun or part-shade, it makes a useful shrub for providing year round interest and colour in the garden.
Height and spread: 250cm (98″).
Growing Information
Camellia plants require a moist, well drained, acid soil in a sheltered, shaded position. In areas where acid soil does not naturally occur, grow Camellia plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3 and position in dappled shade.
