Camellias – Nursery Open to the Public

A few cold mornings and nights, down to single digits – centigrade – reminded us that winter is on the way. For us, that means camellias. Our sasanquas – the sun hardy ones – the Autumn flowering ones – have been flowering since March and many are still in full flower and some of the late ones still to flower in full.

The Japonicas are flowering as well and these will continue for the next few months with the late ones finishing around September with the odd one in October. By then, the weather is too warm for the flowers to stay at their best for more that a day or so before getting burnt.
