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.

In areas where acid soil does not naturally occur, grow Camellia plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3 and position in dappled shade.
