Swan Lake Camellia
Camellia japonica ‘Swan Lake’
Camellia japonica 'Swan Lake' is a spectacular, award-winning evergreen shrub prized for its exceptionally large, semi-double, peony-form flowers in pristine, pure white. This slow-growing, upright camellia forms a dense, rounded, compact mound of glossy, dark green, leathery leaves with finely serrated margins. From mid-winter through spring (January to May in California), it produces an abundance of massive, luminous white blooms that create a stunning, elegant display in the shade garden. Exceptionally long-lived, shade-loving, and low-maintenance, it is an outstanding choice for borders, woodland gardens, specimen plantings, foundation plantings, and containers.
