Camellia ‘mignonne’

Description:
Camellia ‘mignonne’ is an elegant evergreen camellia prized for its soft, romantic blooms and glossy deep green foliage. It produces beautiful pink flowers, often with a delicate formal or semi-formal shape, creating a refined display through the cooler months and into spring. Well-suited to Melbourne gardens, it performs best in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and hot drying winds. Plant in slightly acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and keep the root zone cool with mulch.
