Pretty, polished, and perfectly pink — Camellia japonica CM Hovey is like the garden’s version of a timeless movie star. This evergreen beauty produces charming double blooms in a deep, romantic pink, popping against shiny, dark green foliage from late winter through early spring — just when the rest of the garden could use a little glamour. Perfect for borders, foundations, woodland edges, or as a standalone showpiece in a pot. With its polished look and soft charm, Camellia ‘CM Hovey’ is the kind of plant that never goes out of style — always composed, always in bloom, and always ready for its close-up.
