When autumn rolls around and the summer landscape is preparing for a long winter, the Pink Stella™ Camellia from the Southern Living Plant Collection puts on an unbelievable show to remind us that nature is always alive and kicking. A symphony of soft pink semi-double flowers appear in multitudes as this Camellia proves that breathtaking blossoms aren’t just for Spring and Summer. One of the earliest fall bloomers, this gorgeous bush is excellent as a specimen, medium-sized hedge, accent, or container plant. In order to keep your Stella as happy and healthy as possible, we recommend planting this Camellia in rich, well-drained garden soil and fertilizing it yearly in Spring.
For a seamless planting, plant your Pink Stella Camellia 5 feet apart. Alternatively, space them 9+ feet apart for gaps between plants.

Does really well in shade with little direct sun. Full of blooms the following season after planting.
