Monrovia® April Remembered Ice Angels® Camellia

Camellia japonica 'April Remembered'

Monrovia® April Remembered Camellia is a long blooming evergreen shrub with a rounded habit and glossy leaves that stay dark green year-round.  April Remembered Camellia has semi-double soft pink flowers with cream centers and yellow stamen that bloom from spring into fall in southern climates.  The flowers attract 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.

LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Screening, Foundation Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Witch Hazel, Astilbe, Azalea
