      SKU: 1102 King’s Ransom Camellia in 4 inch pot *Cold and Heat Sensitive* Cannot Ship Out of the USA

      Perfect for Peony lovers, King’s Ransom is a new and beautiful variety that produces abundant solitary and clumped batches peony-like, soft-pink blooms against a background of luscious dark green evergreen leaves. With its upright growing habit, it is perfect for that space between two trees you’ve been wanting to fill, or as a solitary landscape specimen that will add a pop of color in winter to mid spring. The evergreen foliage stays all year so you can use this to build a hedge for privacy year-round, or just to have some extra greenery in your garden.

      Landscape & Garden Uses

      With an upright habit of growth to about 8 to 12 feet tall and to 6 to 8 feet wide, the King’s Ransom Camellia Japonica 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 a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As your camellia grows taller, 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, white or 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.

      Planting Instructions (from a 3.5" Pot)

      1. Site Selection: Choose a location with well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5) and protection from strong winds and intense sunlight.
      2. Prepare the Soil: Amend soil with organic matter like compost or peat moss for improved drainage and acidity.
      3. 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.
      4. Backfill: Gently backfill the hole, pressing lightly to remove air pockets. Avoid burying the stem.
      5. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season.
      6. 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.
      7. 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.
