Camellia Contessa Lavinia Maggi

Camellia japonica 'Contessa Lavinia Maggi' *(AGM)

Looking for something a bit different? You might want to consider this unusual variety, which we affectionately refer to as 'Maggie'. She is a real drama queen with formal double, white striped reddish-pink flowers and an upright growth habit. For some added drama, she can sometimes produce a pure white or red/pink flower, which is a real talking point over the garden fence!

Available in recycled terracotta pot, so it is patio ready on arrival!

Eventual height & spread: 2-3m x 1.5-2m
Supplied height: 2L 20-30cm / 5L 30-50cm / Patio 50-60cm
