Pear

Camellia Little Pearl is a charming evergreen shrub prized for its beautifully flounced blooms, which transition from deep pink on the outer petals to a crisp, ice-white centre.

Compared to japonica camellias, it is more tolerant of sun, better suited to warmer, humid climates, and flowers earlier in the season. Perfect for informal hedging, screening, espalier, and large feature pots. Its neat growth habit and extended flowering period make it a versatile and rewarding addition to gardens both large and small.
