Dad’s Pink is one of the most interesting Camellia on the market today. In late winter through early to mid-spring this amazing camellia displays large, pink, double flowers with petals that are striped and dappled with deep rose markings. A tuft of bright golden-yellow stamens reach out from the center adding a wonderful touch of contrast. Large, glossy, dark green leaves provide a perfect backdrop for the flowers. To enjoy the flowers inside the home take several cuttings and display them in a vase or take just one flower and float in a bowl of water.

Landscape & Garden Uses

A moderate growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 10 feet tall and 7 to 8 feet wide, Dad’s Pink can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As your camellia grows lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive, small evergreen tree that serves well as a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this variety is not reliably winter hardy.

Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants

Planting Instructions (from a 3.5" Pot)

Site Selection: Choose a location with well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5) and protection from strong winds and intense sunlight.

Prepare the Soil: Amend soil with organic matter like compost or peat moss for improved drainage and acidity.

Planting Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball. Position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.

Backfill: Gently backfill the hole, pressing lightly to remove air pockets. Avoid burying the stem.

Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season.

Mulching: Apply 2–3 inches of mulch around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the stem to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Spacing: Space plants 6–8 feet apart for optimal growth and airflow.

With proper care, Camellia Japonica will reward you with timeless beauty and lush foliage for years to come.
