Camellia Rosthorniana ‘Cupido’

Elegant and understated, this beautiful Camellia makes a spectacular specimen shrub. In early spring, its glowing-red shoots and rounded, pink buds provide a bright splash of colour that is quickly followed by exquisite white flowers with a delicate pink flush. This superb evergreen shrub has a compact pyramidal shape and looks perfectly at home in mixed borders, large containers and woodland areas. Camellia ‘Cupido’ requires an acid soil but can be easily grown in a container using ericaeous compost. Height: 150cm (59″). Spread: 75cm (30″).

Culinary note: The flowers can be used as garnishes but are also dried and then cooked in Asian cuisine. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
