PLANT PROFILE

Camellia hiemalis 'Hiryu', grown as a standard (topiary form), is a compact evergreen tree admired for its deep rose-pink, semi-double blooms and glossy green foliage. Flowering from late autumn through early winter, this variety provides valuable colour when few other trees are blooming. The standard form elevates the flowering canopy, making it a refined and structured element in formal garden designs or container displays.

Maturing to approximately 1.8–2.5 metres high and 1–1.5 metres wide, it holds a dense, rounded head of foliage and flowers atop a clear trunk. It performs best in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun, and appreciates well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Camellia ‘Hiryu’ is low maintenance, frost-tolerant, and ideal for pots, narrow spaces, entrances, or formal garden beds.

They look excellent when used to frame pathways or doorways, lined in formal rows, or planted in pairs for symmetry in courtyards and patios. Their tidy form, rich flowering, and year-round foliage make them a versatile choice for structured planting.
