The flowers are densely layered and rose-like in form, creating a refined display against glossy dark green foliage. As a starter plant, it gives gardeners an affordable way to establish a long-lived ornamental shrub that develops into a substantial landscape specimen over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis camellia works beautifully as a foundation planting, woodland garden accent, hedging shrub, or large container specimen for patios and porches. It grows slowly but steadily, forming a dense upright to rounded habit that requires little maintenance beyond occasional shaping. The evergreen leaves provide year-round structure and serve as a backdrop for other flowering plants. Use it in mixed borders, shade gardens, or as a screening plant where its blooms can be appreciated up close.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Camellia japonica\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Dad's Pink\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Evergreen flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright to rounded, dense\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Partial shade to filtered sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-draining, acidic soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 7-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 5-8 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Bloom time is late winter to early spring; protect from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664705454216,"sku":"NLNG-014","price":41.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_7528733f-6763-4499-9c43-aeab72bf4880.png?v=1791897854","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/1-live-plant-dads-pink-camellia-japonica-starter-plant","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
