Camellia Japonica, Pope John XXIII

Camellia japonica 'Pope John XXIII' is a beautiful evergreen shrub known for its large, double white flowers with a blush of pink at the edges.

To encourage healthy growth and maximize its height potential, provide the plant with a well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Choose a planting location that receives partial shade or filtered sunlight, as excessive direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Prune the shrub after flowering to maintain its shape and remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care and favorable conditions, Camellia japonica 'Pope John XXIII' can reach a height of up to 10 feet (3 meters) over time.
