Camellia x hybrid 'Transtasman'

Common Name: Camellia 'Transtasman'

Description: Camellia x hybrid 'Transtasman' is an evergreen shrub admired for its small, glossy green leaves and abundant single white flowers that emerge from charming pink buds. These delicate blooms typically appear from late winter to early spring, adding a touch of elegance to the garden during this period. In Melbourne's climate, 'Transtasman' thrives in full sun to semi-shaded positions, preferring well-drained soils. Its dense, upright growth habit makes it ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant. Regular watering during dry periods and mulching to conserve soil moisture will promote optimal growth and flowering. Pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.
