Camellias are among the great classics of the British garden, prized for their glossy evergreen foliage and beautifully sculpted flowers that appear from late winter into early spring, just when colour is most welcome. Native to East Asia and introduced to the UK in the early 1700s, they quickly became favourites of gardeners and plant collectors, valued for both their refinement and reliability.

Their blooms range from simple singles with golden centres to richly layered doubles resembling roses or peonies, in shades of white, blush pink, deep red, and burgundy. Some varieties are lightly scented, adding an extra dimension to their winter display. Even when not in flower, camellias earn their place with dark green, leathery leaves that provide year-round structure.
