Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy'

Cinnamon Cindy' Camellia, Fall Blooming Camellias, Winter Blooming Camellias, Spring Blooming Camellias, Early to Late Season Camellias, Fragrant Camellias


Fragrant and vigorous, Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy' features very pretty clusters of small, peony-form, white flowers, 2 in. wide (5 cm), with tinges of pink on their regular petals. Their center is graced by 22 pure white petaloids (small petals) and the odd stamen. The exquisite flowers are borne in profusion over a fairly long period extending from early to late season (November to April in the Northern Hemisphere;  April to September in the Southern Hemisphere). Rich with a very pleasing fragrance, reminiscent of cinnamon, they offer a beautiful contrast against the lush evergreen foliage of glossy, serrately margined, small, ovate-shaped, medium to dark green leaves which interestingly emerge somewhat reddish. 'Cinnamon Cindy' is a camellia hybrid resulting from the cross of Camellia japonica and Camellia lutchuensis.

  • This medium-sized evergreen shrub has a slender habit and grows at a slow to medium rate, up to 8-10 ft. tall (240-300 cm) and 3-6 ft. wide (90-180 cm)
  • A part shade to full shade lover, this plant is best grown in consistently moist, acidic, organically richwell-drained soils. Provide a site sheltered from cold, dry winds as buds and flowers may be damaged by cold winds. Protect from the early morning sun and from the direct hot summer afternoon sun.
  • May be attacked by aphids, scale insects, and vine weevil
  • Mass in mixed shrub borders for dramatic winter blooms. Great flowering shrub for woodland gardens or as a screen and hedge. Perfect as a specimen plant and may be effectively grown in tubs or large containers.
  • Apply a root mulch (leaves or shredded bark)
  • Prune after flowering. Prune to thin branching and control size and shape.

Camellia lutchuensis is a deliciously fragrant native to southernmost China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan's Ryukyu Islands where winters are mild. Prized by breeders for its fragrance, this camellia is actively incorporated in the development of fragrant Camellia hybrids. Slow-growing, this camellia species makes a lovely shrub of upright, open habit, generally no taller than 9 ft. (270 cm). Its evergreen, glossy dark green foliage is attractive year-round. Blooming from late midwinter to early spring, its small to medium flowers, with pink-flushed outer petals, are pure white and clustered at the branch tips. Unfortunately, Camellia lutchuensis is not cold-hardy (USDA Hardiness Zone 8 – 9).
