Common Name: EG Waterhouse Camellia

Description:
Camellia 'EG Waterhouse' is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its prolific display of elegant, semi-double, soft pink flowers with delicately ruffled petals. Blooming from late winter to early spring, this variety is highly valued for its long flowering season and lush, dark green glossy foliage. With a naturally upright, dense growth habit, ‘EG Waterhouse’ is ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant in gardens and large containers.
