Description
A profuse bloomer and truly spectacular fall blooming Camellia, Stephanie Golden is a semi-dwarf that produces LOADS of gorgeous, semi-double flowers with electric hot-pink petals surrounding a boss of bright yellow stamens. She has a dense, compact habit reaching 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, depending on pruning, which lends well for use in smaller garden spaces.
Landscape & Garden Uses
With a dense, compact habit and mounding form to about 4 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide (depending on pruning), the Stephanie Golden Camellia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) or an accent in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where not winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
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.
