From midwinter to early spring, this compact camellia is smothered in sweet-smelling, blush coloured flowers - so not only does 'Winter Perfume Pearl' look great, but it also smells divine! A compact grower, it does well in generously sized pots (provided it is kept well fed and watered), so it's perfect for placing beside a doorway or entrace, where you can enjoy the fowers each time you pass by.
To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers, protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
