Camellia japonica ‘Miyako-dori’ 1/4 Standard
£195.00
Description
Graceful and beautifully refined, Camellia japonica ‘Miyako-dori’ brings a soft, romantic lift to the garden from late winter into spring. Its blooms are a delicate white, often with a gently layered, ruffled look, and they sit perfectly against glossy, dark green evergreen foliage — giving you structure and colour at a time when the garden most needs it.
It’s a wonderful choice for a sheltered border or a large pot near an entrance, where you can enjoy the flowers up close. Like all camellias, it rewards the right conditions: steady moisture, good drainage, and protection from harsh winds and early morning sun in frosty weather.

Caragh Garden Notebook
Camellias are all about consistency: shelter, moisture, and drainage. Mulch annually to keep roots cool and the soil evenly moist, and if growing in a container, use ericaceous compost for best results. These ones are 1/4 standard with a great sized head so look particularly well in a pot at an entrance.
