Special Attributes
A real showstopper and must have for your winter garden, Laura Walker Camellia produces dazzling, semi to fully double anemone form flowers with bright red petals and white variegation on the mass of center petaloids. Blooms begin to appear in mid to late winter and continue to early or mid spring. Excellent for cutting and use in indoor flower arrangements.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide depending on pruning, Laura Walker Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, red theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, and in woodland gardens and borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more for space between plants
Cultural Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
