Camellia japonica, commonly known as the Japanese camellia, is a stunning evergreen shrub or small tree celebrated for its glossy, dark-green foliage and exquisite flowers. Native to eastern and southern Asia, particularly Japan, Korea, and China, it is a hallmark of traditional gardens and symbolic of refinement and longevity. Blooming in late winter to early spring, its flowers vary in colour from pure white to vibrant pinks and deep reds, often with intricate petal arrangements ranging from single to double forms. Camellia japonica thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and dappled shade, making it a popular choice for woodland gardens. Its timeless beauty and cultural significance have earned it a place as a cherished ornamental plant in landscapes around the world.

Every plant is hand inspected before being shipped
Every plant is checked by our team before it leaves the nursery. Smaller plants are securely boxed, while larger specimens and pallet orders are shipped on our specialist plant courier network to protect foliage and rootballs in transit.
Most orders are dispatched within 7 working days. Larger specimens and rootballed plants may take a little longer, as we deliver these by pallet — we'll contact you to arrange a convenient delivery date. Full details are on our [Shipping Costs] page.
Let us know within 48 hours of delivery with a couple of photos and we'll put it right with a replacement or refund. We stand behind everything we grow and sell.
All our plants are nursery-fresh and healthy on dispatch and our shipping companies are hand selected for the care they take, so we guarantee the plant's health on delivery. Let us know immediately is soemthing is wrong and we will provide you support.
