$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Camellia japonica 'Spellbound' produces large, peony-form flowers with rich pink petals, opening from late winter into spring and bringing soft color to the garden. Glossy, deep green leaves are thick and leathery, forming a dense evergreen canopy with a polished appearance throughout the year. The flowers are carried prominently among the foliage, their layered form and intricate centers creating texture and depth during the bloom season.

Originating from garden selections of a species native to Japan, this cultivar reflects breeding focused on ornate flower form and seasonal display. It is well suited to woodland borders, foundation plantings, and specimen settings, where its evergreen structure and late-season bloom provide lasting garden interest.
