Description

The ‘Bobbie Fain’ Camellia sports one of the most unique and impressive flowers of any C. japonica on the market today. Large, 5 to 6 inch wide full-double flowers are brilliant rose-red to deep red and are speckled, blotched, and splashed with white variegation in different patterns on the petals. Bright yellow stamens will be noticed peeking out from the center. The large, glossy, dark green leaves are the perfect backdrop for the magnificent flowers. This rare Camellia is a true garden jewel!

Landscape & Garden Uses

A somewhat taller growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 10-15 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide, Bobbie Fain 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 a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As your camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

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.

Can’t tell you how thrilled I am with this purchase. My folks actually bought it for me as a Christmas present as it somewhat bears my name and they LOVED seeing the plant in Gulf Shores, AL. Even though we are in Missouri, I plan on growing this plant in a container. The fact that the plant arrived, in perfect condition with deep green leaves and lots of buds is what gives this review a 5 star rating. Since receiving, a bud has blossomed and I see why my folks love this plant when they saw it. Thank you for such a beautiful plant.———————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope enjoy your gift for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I highly recommend this nursery. Plant arrived looking so healthy and perfect that I couldn’t wait to get it planted. Now I am anxious for blooming season! The packaging is phenomenal. So great that I needed wire pliers and heavy duty shears to extricate the beautiful plant inside. I have never seen a plant so perfect in appearance…great shape and fabulously healthy with gorgeous green color leaves.
