Camellia Margaret Davis.
Botanical Name: Camellia japonica.
Margaret Davis is an Australian cultivar discovered as a sport (chance variation) on the branches of another very old Australian variety (Aspasia Macarthur – 1850’s). This sport was chosen, propagated and named because it exhibited its own distinct characteristics. Margaret Davis is distinguished from its parent by the bright pink margins to its creamy white peony form flowers. Margaret Davis retains the solid bushy growth and thick dark green leaves of its parent and has shown itself to be an excellent garden specimen over many decades.

- It can be planted in sun or lightly shaded positions.
- Planting holes should be double the width of the container and slightly deeper, with a blend of composted material and existing topsoil.
- Best positioned in part shade with protection from strong winds.
- Mulch the soil surface with 5cm of quality mulch, avoiding mounding against the plant's trunk.
- Camellia's will take several months to a year to establish, keep the soil moist but not overwatered.
- Prune in early spring for shape, and feed with a quality general-purpose fertiliser in spring, replenishing as needed in mid to late summer.
