Camellia 'Cupido'
In spring, this compact evergreen shrub comes to life with pink buds that line its slender, upright stems. As the season progresses, these buds unfurl into small white flowers, each delicately tinged with a pinkish-red flush along the edges of the petals, adding a soft yet striking contrast. The new growth emerges in a vibrant red, creating an additional burst of colour that enhances the shrub's appeal. Its upright, pyramidal form makes it a perfect candidate for container planting, where it can be showcased as a standout specimen. We think that this is one of the best Camellias available, it is smothered in flowers and is really phenomenal
Beyond its beauty, this shrub offers practical benefits to the garden. Its evergreen foliage ensures that it provides structure and visual interest throughout the year, making it a valuable addition to shrub borders. Whether used as a focal point in a pot or as a year-round performer in the landscape, this shrub is both versatile and attractive, adding texture and colour in every season.
