Description

Known to produce flowers of many different colors and variations on the same plant, Lady Vansittart is one of the most impressive and popular Camellias on the market today. A true garden jewel, this dazzling Lady produces an abundance of large flowers often white or soft pink but striped, speckled or splashed with varying colors in different patterns on the petals. We’ve counted up to 6 different color patterns and variations on the same plant!

Please Note: Sometimes the blooms of young plants will be only color. Color variations will come with age.

Landscape & Garden Uses

A taller growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 8-15 feet tall and 5-8 feet wide, Lady Vansittart can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub she is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As she grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive and colorful small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Spacing: 5 feet apart for a solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.

I always order a bit hesitantly because I’ve received plants that were not in very good condition before from other companies. The camelia I received is full, lush and a rich green. It was definitely given a loving and great start which makes me very hopeful for beautiful blooms as it grows in my garden. I will update with photos when it blooms.————————Hi Barbara, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Lady Vansittart Multicolor Camellia.
