Monrovia® Coral Delight Camellia is a tall long-blooming upright evergreen shrub with large glossy leaves that stay dark green year-round.  The unusually bright coral pink semi-double flowers may be brushed with random white and bloom from late fall into early spring attracting butterflies.  Best blooms occur in partial sun and acidic, well-drained soil.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium maintenance. Too much water retention can increase susceptibility to fungal diseases, including root rot, black mold, blight, canker, anthracnose, and leaf spots.  Watch for aphids and spider mites.   Yellowing leaves indicate acidity too low. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer. If desired, remove all but one bud from each cluster to increase the size of the flower. Prune immediately after flowering.
