Camellia japonica 'Early Autumn'
The Early Autumn Camellia is one of the earliest blooming camellias, as its buds start opening in September and continue until February. The flowers are large and round, about 3.5 inches across, and have a formal double or peony shape that is neat and symmetrical. The lavender-rose petals are pointed and layered, and have a deep lavender edge that contrasts with the lighter center. The flowers also have a long-lasting quality and a light fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies. The Early Autumn Camellia is a cultivar of the camellia japonica species, which is native to Japan. The shrub grows up to 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide, and has a moderate growth rate and landscape potential. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and pointed, and measure 3 x 1.5 inches. It prefers part shade to part sun, and moist, acidic, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. It is hardy in USDA zones 7 to 9, and requires monthly fertilization in spring and summer.
