Camellia
japonica 'Chandleri Elegans' |
| Camellias
do their best in light shade or eastern exposures near the coast and require more
protection inland. I have seen them survive places that I would not have thought
possible. Then merely surviving is not usually our criteria for having a plant.
We want it to thrive. They like slightly acid soil, regular but not excessive
water but with greater frequency than do the oaks that they are often planted under.
Chandleri Elegans is one of the few Camellia's with a delicate
scent. The flowers of Camellia chandleri elegans are large and elegant to be sure. For scale that
is my hand steadying the flower to take the picture.
