At Diaco’s Garden Nursery, we’re delighted to introduce the enchanting Camellia Early Pearly, a camellia that brings elegance and structure to any garden setting. With its robust, bushy, upright form, Early Pearly showcases dark green, glossy foliage that splendidly frames its pure white blossoms, blooming prolifically from early autumn. The plant’s vigorous lateral branches make it an excellent choice for espalier or crafting narrow hedges.

Growth and Styling Tips:
Leave Camellia Early Pearly unpruned to enjoy its naturally dense and slightly cascading habit, or opt for light pruning in spring and summer to cultivate a neat, deep green hedge.

Planting & Care Instructions:

Location: Thrives in both full sun and light shade.
Spacing: For hedges or screens, plant Early Pearly 0.9m to 1.5m apart—choose closer spacing for quick density or wider for long-term growth.
Planting: Dig a hole twice the width and slightly deeper than the container. Mix composted material with topsoil, ideal for raised beds in clay soils.
Positioning: Set the plant so the top of the potting mix aligns with the soil line. Firm the soil around the base for stability and water thoroughly.
Mulching: Apply a 5cm layer of quality mulch around the soil surface, tapering near the trunk to prevent moisture buildup.
Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially during the first year, tapering off as Early Pearly establishes.
Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again in mid to late summer with a general-purpose garden fertilizer.
Pruning: Prune early in the spring to shape. Avoid late pruning to preserve autumn blooms.
Early Pearly is more than just a plant; it’s a long-term addition to your garden that offers year-round beauty and structure. With the right care, this standout camellia will flourish, becoming a cherished part of your garden’s landscape.
