Camellia japonica 'Centifolia Alba'
Camellia japonica 'Centifolia Alba' is a timeless evergreen shrub, admired for its pure white, fully double blooms that appear from February to April. The luxuriant, rosette-shaped flowers glow against glossy, dark green foliage, bringing a classic touch of refinement and brightness to shaded borders or woodland gardens in late winter and early spring.
Compact and upright in habit, ‘Centifolia Alba’ is ideal for borders, woodland edges, or statement containers. It thrives in partial shade and moist, acidic, well-drained soil, with shelter from cold winds. The evergreen foliage provides structure throughout the year, while the early blooms attract pollinators on mild spring days, extending the season of garden interest.
