Description
Camellia 'Debutante' is a delightful Camellia japonica cultivar known for its large, soft pink, peony-like blooms that add a touch of elegance to shaded garden areas. This charming variety flowers from Autumn (Djeran) through to Early Spring (Djilba), creating a beautiful display over the cooler months. 'Debutante' is well-suited to garden beds and large pots, thriving in part shade to full shade, making it an ideal choice for Perth gardens needing a splash of colour in protected spaces.
Plant 'Debutante' in well-drained, acidic soil, ideally using a specialised Camellia potting mix to support balanced moisture and good drainage. Regular watering is essential in Perth’s hot, dry conditions to keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during summer. This cultivar typically grows to a height of 2 - 3 metres and a width of 1.5 - 2 metres, forming a well-rounded, evergreen shrub that adds structure and colour to outdoor spaces year-round.
