Description
An all-time favorite and top seller for obvious reasons…just look at it. Professor Sargent Camellia produces an abundance of stunningly gorgeous, fully double, peony-like brilliant red flowers that begin opening in late winter continuing through mid-spring. Even when not in bloom, the large, lustrous, evergreen, dark green leaves provide outstanding texture in the landscape. Excellent for cutting and use in indoor flower arrangements or just float one in a bowl of water.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 15 feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide depending on pruning, Professor Sargent Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as hedge or background plant. It is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) or corner plant in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.

I was a little nervous about ordering online, not knowing what to expect. We were SO impressed. The camellia came so fast (3 days?) and was in AMAZING condition. We ordered the 3 gal. camellia and it’s at least 3 or 4 feet tall! We planted it right away, but we won’t know until next year how the blooms look. I would 100% order from this company again. The customer service was wonderful and the product was even better!———————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Wilson Bros. is the best.—————————————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I had a hard time finding Professor Sargent Camellia. I was very impressed with the delivery and condition of my order. Wilson Bros is a top-notch Nursery for online plants. I landscaped an entire home site this year during covid. 95% of my plants were bought online. I have dealt with 10 different nurseries and I can honestly say Wilson Bros delivered two of the best shrubs I ever purchased online. I am very sorry it took me an entire year to find them. I feel their website is informative and educational. And their story…I fell in love with their journey. I feel this company goes above and beyond for information and quality. Way to go two brothers from Miami!———————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks a bunch for the great review and such kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I ordered the 3 gallon Professor Sargent Camellia Japonica for my Mother. It is absolutely gorgeous! It arrived unbelievably well packaged, in perfect shape and in record time. The online directions for planting it made that job so simple. It had several blooms and buds on it when it arrived so its beauty was already on full display when she opened the box. We were both thrilled!—————————————We are so glad yall are pleased and we hope yall enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
