Camellia japonica ‘Silver Waves’
£55.00
Description
Elegant, luminous, and a little bit different, Camellia ‘Silver Waves’ is a standout choice for bringing winter-to-spring colour to the garden. The blooms are beautifully open and refined — white petals with a soft, rippled edge, set off by a golden centre of stamens that gives the flowers a light, airy look (rather than a heavy, formal double).
It’s a brilliant camellia for brightening a sheltered spot, and because it’s evergreen, it gives structure and glossy green foliage all year round. Planted near an entrance, along a path, or viewed from a window, it’s one of those shrubs that quietly looks “expensive” in the best way.

Caragh Garden Notebook
Camellias are all about the right spot: shelter, steady moisture, and good drainage. Mulch annually to protect roots and keep the soil cool, and if you’re growing in a pot, use an ericaceous compost and keep watering consistent through dry spells.
