La Peppermint Camellia in 4 inch pot - Camellia Live Plant Shrub

LA Peppermint Camellia is a wonderful variety from the 1800's that has stood the test of time for good reasons. In late winter through early spring it produces an abundance of fragrant, eye-catching double flowers with white or soft pink petals randomly streaked in red or solid red or half red and half white flowers. As the plant ages it tends to produce many variations on the same plant. The striking flowers are set against a perfect backdrop of glossy, deep green foliage. The flowers and foliage are perfect for cutting to display in indoor floral arrangements float just one in a bowl of water. Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 7 feet wide, the LA Peppermint Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. It is ideal for use as a hedge, background plant, or in groupings and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, white or red theme gardens and woodland borders.
