Camellia ‘1001 Summer Nights’ Jasmine

This handsome evergreen is a breeding breakthrough! Bred in China by Mr. Gao Jiyin, who has worked with camellia for over 50 years, and his colleagues Mr. Zhao Qiangmin and Mr. Liu Xinkai. Unlike most Camellias, which flower in spring, this extraordinary new variety is at its best from late Summer to early spring! The ruffled, rosette blooms are borne continuously from September to early February, bringing an exotic feel to the garden. Camellia ‘1001 Summer Nights’ Jasmine is neat and compact, making it ideal for planting in patio containers. Thriving in sun or part-shade, it makes a useful shrub for providing year round interest and colour in the garden. Height and spread: 250cm (98″).
