Camellia japonica 'Black Lace' - Camellia
Perfectly shaped, velvety shimmering, deep red flowers with almost triangular petals are the characteristic of Camellia 'Black Lace'. Very good winter hardiness (winter hardiness zone 7b).
Camellia Black Lace (Camellia williamsii x C. reticulata) scores with its velvety shimmering, dark red, double flowers, whose almost triangular petals arrange themselves perfectly symmetrically to form precious artwork. Flowering time is in March/April. Very good winter hardiness (hardiness zone 7b: -12/-15 °C). It is slow growing and its crown is very well branched, compact and rich in flowers.
General information on Japanese Camellia: The evergreen shrubs with the glossy, leathery dark green leaves love semi-shady places and acidic, well drained but moist, humus-rich soil as well as acidic fertilizers (e.g. rhododendron fertilizer). Their thick flower buds are already formed from (late) summer, ripen from about September until flowering in February/March/April at 0 to 10 °C, and open in cool places around 10 °C. If the temperature is too high, the buds will fall off before they open: Japanese Camellias are not houseplants! But they are wonderful winter garden plants, which rightly bear the nickname "Roses of Winter". Or – due to their surprisingly high winter hardiness, depending on the variety – they can be planted out as permanent guests in the garden, protected from the winter sun with a shade net or fleece. When planted in the garden, flowering starts (depending on the weather) a few weeks later than potted Camellia in a conservatory.
