LA Peppermint Camellia Camellia japonica ‘la peppermint’ LA Peppermint Camellia is a wonderful variety from the 1800’s that has stood the test of time for good reasons. In late winter through early spring it produces an abundance of fragrant, eye-catching double flowers with white or soft pink petals randomly streaked in red. Occasionally flowers may be half red and white to solid red. The striking flowers are set against a perfect backdrop of glossy, deep green foliage. it is ideal for use as a hedge, background plant, or in groupings and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows lower branches can be removed to form an attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings.
