Evergreen, easy to grow, and winter-blooming -- the perfect accent for foundation, border, or even container!

The flower color is an unusual blend of coral and deep pink.
One of the most floriferous Camellias, 'Coral Delight' offers an unusual color blend on lovely semi-double flowers that brighten the winter garden and make excellent cuts for the vase. Just the right size for any setting from a large container to the foundation, border, hedge, or even privacy screen, this Camellia is a carefree addition to the partly shaded garden.

The blooms begin in early winter and continue until spring in most climates. Very profuse, they add cheerful color, both from their combination of dark pink and coral petals and from the bright cluster of yellow at the center of each bloom. The dark green, evergreen foliage covering this well-branched shrub makes a fine backdrop for the flowers and ensures that the plant is lovely in every season.

Reaching 6 to 8 feet high and wide, 'Coral Delight' begins blooming from an early age and grows slowly. It does best in morning sun and afternoon shade or a dappled sun understory setting. Give it a heavy mulch and acidic soil, and it will repay you generously with blooms for many, many seasons to come! It is a good companion plant to Azaleas and Kalmias. Low maintenance and very high performing! Zones 8-10.
