Plant description
From midwinter to early spring, this compact camellia is smothered in sweet-smelling, blush coloured flowers - so not only does 'Winter Perfume Pearl' look great, but it also smells divine! A compact grower, it does well in generously sized pots (provided it is kept well fed and watered), so it's perfect for placing beside a doorway or entrace, where you can enjoy the fowers each time you pass by.

How to care for Camellia japonica Winter Perfume Pearl (PBR):
To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers, protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
