Enjoy a flamboyant spring display of semi-double, ruffled pink blooms with prominent golden stamens. Camellia japonica 'Doctor King’ is a neat and compact variety that makes a splendid patio plant. Its glossy evergreen foliage is dark and lustrous throughout the year, bringing valuable structure to the garden even when not in bloom. Like all Camellias it requires and acid soil. Height 400cm (157in) Spread: 150cm (59in).
Culinary note: The flowers can be used as garnishes but are also dried and then cooked in Asian cuisine. For more details about edible flowers click here.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Water regularly until plants are fully established. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed Camellias occasionally with fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Protect plants from cold winter winds and strong early morning sunlight, as this may cause the buds to drop in early spring.
Camellias will appreciate an autumn mulch to protect their roots from winter cold. Camellias require little pruning other than to maintain their shape. Lightly trim stems and remove faded blooms immediately after flowering.
