Released and named for the International Year of the Volunteer, Camellia Volunteer is a compact, evergreen shrub with eye-catching flowers during autumn and winter. The blooms of this japonica camellia are absolutely stuffed with petals! Gorgeous pink upon opening and darkening to red-pink over time, the petal edges are lighter in colour. Volunteer is an excellent plant for container growing and would make a wonderful mid-sized hedge.
