Enjoy late-season color thanks to the Taylor's Perfection Camellia. This blooming stunner is easy to maintain and boasts large, semi-double soft pink flowers. The evergreen plant blooms in late fall and flowers last into the winter. The glossy foliage is a dark green and has a leathery texture with serrated edges, and it provides a stark contrast against the delicate blooms.
Plant Taylor's Perfection Camellia in tandem with an early-blooming variety to enjoy continuous flowers. This plant works well as a mass planting, hedge, privacy screen, or as a container planting. Blooms can also be used as cut flowers. Established Camellia are drought- and heat-tolerant. This variety attracts birds and butterflies and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 8 through 10.
Taylor's Perfection Camellia Plant Care
Plant in an area with partial to filtered sun. Ideally, this plant needs 2 to 3 hours of direct light or a full day of dappled light. Use slightly acidic soil that allows for good drainage. Water the Camellia when the top few inches of soil dry out. The plant will need less water during the second growing season. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help hold onto moisture and protect the roots from chilly temperatures during the winter.
Use an acidic fertilizer to feed the plant during the spring after cold weather is no longer likely. Shape the plant or cut back overgrowth in the spring before new growth emerges.
Taylor's Perfection Camellia Plant Spacing
Taylor's Perfection Camellia should grow 6 to 8 feet tall and be just as wide. When using this plant as a hedge or privacy screen, plant the shrubs as close as 4 feet center to center. The plants can be spaced further if you want space between each Camellia or other nearby plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
