Camellia Nuccios Pearl 200mm

Camellia Nuccio’s Pearl is an exquisite evergreen Camellia renowned for its beautifully refined, formal double flowers. The perfectly arranged petals open creamy white to the softest blush pink, with the outer petals developing deeper pink tones that give each bloom a delicate, pearl-like appearance.

The elegant flowers contrast beautifully against glossy, deep green foliage, making Nuccio’s Pearl a standout feature in the garden. Flowering through winter and into early spring, it provides gorgeous colour and interest at a time when many other plants are resting.

With its attractive, upright growth habit, Nuccio’s Pearl is wonderful as a feature shrub, informal hedge or screen and is equally impressive grown in a large decorative pot. It prefers morning sun or filtered light with protection from harsh afternoon sun and hot, drying winds.

Plant in fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep consistently moist during establishment and while flower buds are developing.

Tip: Nuccio’s Pearl has particularly beautiful pale blooms, so give it a sheltered position away from harsh afternoon sun and heavy weather. This helps prevent the delicate petals from browning or marking and keeps those gorgeous pearl-like flowers looking pristine for longer.
