Description
Altheaflora is a winter to spring bloomer that features abundant peony form carmine red flowers. It has a strong upright habit with slightly weeping branches clothed with dark green leaves. The flowers are excellent for cutting and use in indoor flower arrangements or just float one in a bowl of water. Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide depending on pruning, Altheaflora is a superb and outstanding evergreen specimen in the garden that can be grown as a tall shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide depending on pruning, Altheaflora 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 hedge or background plant. It is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) or corner plant 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 specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, and partially shaded woodland gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing 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.
