Flowering from early to mid winter, this beautiful Japanese cultivar produces striking peony to rose-form double blooms, each highlighted by a delicate white edge that makes the flowers truly stand out. Its glossy dark green foliage provides year-round structure, making it a wonderful addition to both traditional and contemporary gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe large blooms are a deep burgundy to wine-red, with beautifully layered petals creating a full, elegant appearance. A fine white margin around each flower adds extra contrast and highlights the unique colouring. Flowering through the cooler months, 'Tama Vino' provides valuable winter colour when much of the garden is dormant, while its evergreen foliage remains attractive throughout the year.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith its medium-sized upright habit, 'Tama Vino' is ideal as a feature shrub, informal hedge or specimen plant. It also performs exceptionally well in large pots, bringing colour and structure to courtyards, patios and entrances.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in a part shade position or where it receives morning sun and protection from harsh afternoon sun. In Melbourne, a sheltered location protected from strong winds will encourage the best flowering display.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPrefers fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. If planting into Melbourne's heavier clay soils, improve drainage with compost or plant into a raised garden bed.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWater regularly during establishment and maintain consistent soil moisture during Melbourne's dry summers. Once established, a deep weekly watering during the growing season is generally sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFeed with a quality fertiliser formulated for camellias or other acid-loving plants in spring after flowering. A second light application in mid to late summer will encourage healthy growth and flower bud development.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nApply a generous layer of organic mulch each spring to help conserve moisture, suppress weeds and improve soil health, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPrune lightly after flowering to maintain shape. Older plants respond well to rejuvenation pruning if required.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWell suited to long-term container growing when planted in a premium-quality potting mix and watered consistently.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Feature flowering shrubs\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Decorative pots and containers\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Evergreen hedging\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Woodland and shade gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Courtyards and patios\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Winter flowering displays\u003cbr\u003e\r\n– Camellia collections","brand":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49010985861371,"sku":"cjtv20","price":42.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6601\/8210\/files\/38202_IMG-6486-8.jpg?v=1782539558","url":"https:\/\/warranglen.com.au\/products\/camellia-japonica-tama-vino-20cm-pot","provider":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
