Pink Perfection Camellia. 'The perfectly formal flower of this cultivar makes it one of the most popular selections to use in corsages, and it dates from the 1700's. Flowers are a medium pink on a plant which is dense and full. As with most Camellias, morning sun and afternoon shade or filtered sun on well drained fertile soil is where it performs best. Once established, Camellias are some of our most drought tolerant ornamentals as one can see from the third photo taken by Hayes Jackson of Anniston, AL, with a plant growing in full sun on an old abandoned homestead. This is one of those cultivars without which a Camellia collection is just not complete. Always plant camellias with the root ball slightly above the surrounding soil.
