Camellia japonica 'Contessa Lavinia Maggi'

A showstopper of a plant with a well-deserved RHS Award of Garden Merit! The astonishing white blooms are individually flecked and streaked with raspberry red, so that each is different from the last. Camellia japonica 'Contessa Lavinia Maggi' is an elegant evergreen, with glossy, dark foliage and a vigorous spreading habit. This large, spreading shrub makes a fine specimen plant for acid soils ? give it plenty of room to see it at its best! Height and spread: 4m (13?). Culinary note: The flowers can be used as garnishes but are also dried and then cooked in Asian cuisine. For more information and growing advice, read our edible flowers guide.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.
