Camellia jap. 'Nuccio's Gem' / 3Ltr Premier

Add enduring beauty and early spring colour to your garden with Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Gem’, a compact evergreen shrub prized for its large, semi-double to peony-form flowers in rich, bright pink. Flowering from late winter into spring, the blooms create a striking contrast against glossy, deep green foliage, brightening borders, woodland gardens, or large containers when few other plants are in flower.

With a naturally upright and bushy habit, ‘Nuccio’s Gem’ is ideal as a feature plant, in mixed borders, or grown in containers for patios and terraces. Thriving in acidic, moist but well-drained soil and a sheltered position in partial shade, it is low-maintenance and reliable. After 5 years, it typically reaches around 1.5–2m in height and 1–1.5m in spread, forming a dense, structured evergreen shrub with year-round foliage and seasonal floral impact.
