What is Camellia High Fragrance?
Camellia ‘High Fragrance’ is hybrid camellia bred for its beautiful scented flowers and elegant evergreen foliage. Unlike many traditional camellias, this variety produces a noticeable perfume, making it especially desirable near entrances, pathways and outdoor living spaces. Its refined growth habit and long flowering period make it suitable for both formal and relaxed garden settings.
How to Care for Camellia High Fragrance
Plant in a position protected from wind with moist, well-drained acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during establishment and during dry periods to maintain healthy growth and flowering. Apply mulch to help retain moisture and keep roots cool. Feed with a fertiliser formulated for camellias and acid-loving plants during the growing season. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain shape and encourage dense growth.
