Every once in a while Mother Nature gives us a present, and in this case, it’s the beautiful Volunteer™ Camellia. It is a remarkable, pin cushioned deep pink-red camellia, each petal with a distinctive frosted edge. In the begin - ning of the season it opens soft pink and white deepening through the season to dark pinky red and white and ending up pure red at the end of flowering. The beautiful form of these flowers and the dark glossy green foliage make this Volunteer Camellia a stunner! A perfect plant for shade .Spotted among his seed - lings by New Zealand plant breeder Mark Jury, Volunteer Camellia has grown into something so special that it was named to honour volunteers everywhere, and even selected to appear on a postage stamp in its native New Zealand.
