Camellia 'E.G. Waterhouse', 'E.G. Waterhouse' Camellia, Spring Blooming Camellias, Mid to Late Season Camellias
Award-winning Camellia x williamsii ‘E.G. Waterhouse’ features eye-catching, fuchsia-pink flowers, 4 in. wide (10 cm), of formal double form with many rows of imbricated petals. The pretty blooms are profusely produced in the mid to late season (January to May in the Northern Hemisphere; June to October in the Southern Hemisphere). Vigorous, this camellia forms a narrow, almost columnar shrub and has a luxuriant evergreen foliage of dark green leaves along its ascending, gray-barked branches.
Camellia x williamsii are the first camellia hybrids. Generally blooming after the Japanese camellias, they result from the cross of Camellia japonica and Camellia saluenensis. Among the most cold-hardy camellias (inherited from the japonica parent), most of them are extremely vigorous, free-blooming, with attractive, semi-glossy, leathery leaves. Graceful shrubs, they tolerate low light intensity and bloom over a long season, providing a spectacular show. They drop their spent heads with elegance (no deadheading required!), leaving a tidy bush. They feature a wide range of habits, from dwarf to large and spreading.
