    About Camellia hybrid ‘Cinnamon Cindy’

    Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy' is a fragrant hybrid camellia, an evergreen shrub carrying small peony form blooms in rose pink with paler petaloids crowded at the centre. The scent is warm and spicy, which is rare in the genus. Flowering runs through winter into spring above dense, glossy, dark green foliage.

    Morning sun with shelter from hot afternoon light suits it best, though cool districts can give it rather more sun. It wants a rich, free draining, slightly acidic soil and steady moisture while establishing. Temperate and cool temperate gardens suit it, light frost is handled, and growth is 30 to 60 centimetres a year.

    It makes a good flowering hedge at two to three metres, a screen along a side path, or a courtyard shrub placed where the fragrance is noticed in passing. The compact habit suits smaller gardens and large pots. Few shrubs offer both scent and colour in the middle of winter.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Cinnamon Cindy Camellia

    What is Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy'?

    'Cinnamon Cindy' is a hybrid camellia bred for fragrance, carrying small peony form blooms in rose pink with paler petaloids crowded at the centre. It makes a dense, rounded evergreen shrub with glossy dark foliage. The scent is warm and spicy and carries a short distance on still days, which is unusual in a camellia.

    How big does Cinnamon Cindy grow?

    Expect around 2 to 3 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide over time, with growth of 30 to 60 centimetres a year. It is easily held lower with an annual prune after flowering, and it stays compact enough for a courtyard or a large pot without needing constant attention.

    When does it flower?

    Flowering runs through winter into spring, roughly June to September, with the heaviest display in the middle of that window. Blooms open in succession rather than all at once, so the show is drawn out over many weeks. Cool weather during flowering holds individual blooms in good condition for longer.

    Is it fragrant?

    Yes, and that is the main reason it is grown. The fragrance is warm and spicy, often described as cinnamon, and it is strongest on still, mild days around the middle of the day. It comes from Camellia lutchuensis in its parentage. Plant it near a door, path or window where people pass close by.

    Does it need sun or shade?

    Morning sun with shelter from hot afternoon light is the position it likes best. In cool districts it takes more direct sun without trouble. Deep shade reduces flowering and opens the habit out. Filtered light under high canopy trees suits it well, provided it is not competing with heavy surface roots.

    Can it be grown in a pot?

    Yes, the compact habit suits containers. Use a pot at least 45 centimetres wide with a free draining acidic mix made for camellias, and keep it out of hot afternoon sun and drying wind. Water consistently through summer and autumn, since dry roots at bud set will cost you flowers. Feed once flowering finishes.

    How do I care for Cinnamon Cindy?

    Feed with a camellia and azalea fertiliser once flowering finishes and again in late summer. Mulch with leafy compost, keeping it off the trunk, and water deeply through summer and autumn while buds are forming. Prune lightly after flowering to shape. Watch for scale on shaded inner branches and treat with horticultural oil.

    Planting: Position level with the surrounding soil, backfill gently, firm in, then water deeply to settle the roots.

    Recommended Planting Spacing For Your Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy'

    Feature tree: 3 to 4 metres apart to allow the full canopy and form to develop.

    Long Term Care For Your Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy'

    Watering: Water deeply twice weekly through the first 12 months. Once established, keep the root zone consistently moist with weekly deep watering and additional water during hot dry spells.

    Mulching: Apply a 5 to 7 centimetre layer of organic mulch over the root zone, keeping it 5 centimetres clear of the trunk.

    Pruning: Minimal pruning required. Light tip prune in late winter to maintain shape if used as hedging or screening. For a clear trunk feature, remove lower branches as the tree grows.

    Fertilising: Apply a slow-release general-purpose fertiliser in early spring and again in autumn for steady growth and consistent foliage colour.

    Pest and disease: Hardy against most pests and diseases. Occasional inspection for scale or sooty mould in warm humid conditions is all that's needed.

    Planting Your Camellia 'Cinnamon Cindy' in Different Soil

    Camellia Cinnamon Cindy performs best in rich, well-drained loam with a slightly acidic pH and consistent moisture. Adaptable to a wide range of soils when drainage and organic matter are managed well.

    Sandy soil: Free-draining but enrich heavily with compost and mulch deeply to hold moisture.

    Clay soil: Improve drainage with gypsum and organic compost, and mound slightly to lift the root zone.

    Loam: The preferred soil for steady root development and consistent flowering.

    pH: Slightly acidic preferred. Mulch with composted leaf litter or pine bark to maintain levels naturally.
