Year-Round Beauty

Just Chill® Double Pink camellia (Camellia x) brings beauty to the landscape all year long! A handsome variety in the Just Chill series, it’s perhaps best enjoyed for its pale-pink blooms that emerge in fall, but that isn’t all it has to offer.

In spring, this plant continues to entertain with vibrant burgundy new growth that pops out at the tips of its branches. Its lush evergreen foliage maintains interest the rest of the year, serving as a reliable attraction and a lovely backdrop for neighboring plants.

Just Chill Double Pink Camellia is suited to USDA zones 6b–9. It enjoys full to part sun and moist, acidic soil. Pruning is not generally needed, but if you like, you can prune to shape in late winter or early spring after it finishes flowering.
