Camellia ‘Silver Anniversary’ is a evergreen flowering shrub that earns its place in any garden. Silver Anniversary is a Camellia japonica with pure white, semi-double flowers and golden stamens in spring. It is a popular gift for a 25th wedding anniversary.
Camellias are classic evergreen shrubs with glossy, dark green leaves and beautiful rose-like flowers from late winter into spring, when little else is in bloom. They are long-lived and reliable in shady, acid-soil gardens and patio pots.
Camellia ‘Silver Anniversary’ grows best in dappled shade, sheltered from early-morning sun and cold wind, in moist, well-drained, acidic soil or ericaceous compost. It is a good choice for large containers, and also works well for shady and woodland gardens, evergreen screening and shady borders. Pair with rhododendrons, pieris, ferns, hellebores and skimmias.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Keep the roots moist, especially in late summer when next year’s flower buds form. Feed in spring with an ericaceous fertiliser and water with rainwater. Keep the roots moist, especially in summer when buds form. Feed with ericaceous fertiliser and prune after flowering. Prune lightly after flowering if needed to shape the plant. Bud drop is usually caused by dry roots in late summer; yellow leaves suggest alkaline soil.
Excellent in large pots of ericaceous compost; water with rainwater.
