Use as an Ornamental
As an ornamental it can grow up to 2-2.5m high and 1.5m wide in 10 years. Use as a stand alone feature or background plant. Do not plant close to buildings.
Like all Camellias if the plant gets old and loses form, prune severely back to a stump 30 – 50cm high. After a few weeks new shoots will appear from the stump and the plant will reform.
