Camellia It's Gorgeous - 18cm Pot

Camellia floribunda ‘It’s Gorgeous’ is part of a new generation of early-flowering hybrid camellias, prized for its vibrant colour, compact growth and clean, low-maintenance performance. This variety produces masses of bright pink blooms from late autumn through winter, bringing bold colour to the garden when little else is in flower.

Its naturally bushy, compact habit makes It’s Gorgeous ideal for smaller gardens, hedging and feature planting. A standout feature of this variety is its self-cleaning flowers, which drop neatly from the plant once spent, keeping it looking tidy without the need for constant deadheading.

Highly versatile, it performs well in both full sun and lightly shaded positions, making it suitable for a wide range of garden styles and conditions.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-prepared, free-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Dig a hole at least twice the width of the pot and slightly deeper, and consider raised beds in heavier soils to improve drainage.

Position the plant so the top of the potting mix sits level with the surrounding soil. Firm gently, water in well and apply a layer of mulch (approximately 5cm thick), keeping it clear of the trunk.

Keep soil consistently moist during establishment, which may take several months to a year. Once established, watering can be reduced. Prune lightly in early spring to maintain shape—avoid late pruning, as this may reduce autumn flowering. Feed in spring with a quality general-purpose fertiliser, with a second application in mid to late summer if needed.

For hedging or screening, plant approximately 0.9–1.5 metres apart depending on desired density.

– Feature shrubs
