Camellia Nuccios cameo
€55.00
Description
If you love camellias with a softer, more romantic feel, Camellia ‘Nuccio’s Cameo’ is a beauty. Its blooms are beautifully formed and elegant, opening in soft blush-pink tones (often with a gentle, deeper pink centre) and sitting perfectly against glossy, dark green evergreen foliage.
Flowering from late winter into spring, it brings colour and polish at a time when the garden is still waking up — and because it’s evergreen, it gives structure all year round. It’s a gorgeous choice near an entrance, along a path, or in a pot where you can enjoy the flowers up close.

Caragh Garden Notebook
Camellias prefer steady conditions: shelter from wind, moisture without waterlogging, and a yearly mulch to protect roots. If growing in a container, use ericaceous compost and keep watering consistent through spring and summer.
