Description
Camellia 'Paddy's Perfumed' is an innovative hybrid variety of Japanese Camellia, remarkable for the fragrance of its flowers which have very sweet notes, a very unusual fragrance for these bushes. Its light pink flowers, small in size, in the shape of semi-double anemones, bloom from January to March. They are well highlighted by glossy dark green foliage. This bush, with an airy habit, will withstand frosts of -14°C (6.8 °F) without damage. Place it in a shrub bed or flowering hedge, in full sun or partial shade, in acidic and moist soil. Its beauty anticipates the spring!
Camellia 'Paddy's Perfumed,' obtained in 1992 in New Zealand and recently introduced to the European market, belongs to the family of tea plants, just like its ancestor the Camellia japonica. It is the result of cross-breeding between Camellia japonica 'Tama-ikari' and the hybrid 'Esme Spence'. It is a bushy shrub with a rather upright and slightly loose habit, with deep rooting. It will reach a height of about 1.6 m (5 ft) and a spread of 1m (3 ft) at 10 years old. Flowering from January to March, the shrub produces semi-double corollas with a diameter of 8 cm (3 in) and a depth of 3 cm (1.2 in). Composed of 14 petals and 12 rose petaloid sepals, the flowers are occupied in their centre by stamens with golden yellow anthers. The evergreen foliage consists of large elliptical leaves, 9 cm (3.5 in) long and 5 cm (2 in) wide, leathery, dark green and glossy on the upper side. While this shrub is hardy down to -15°C in the ground, its flowering may be compromised by snow, icy winds and temperatures below -5°C (23 °F).
'Paddy's Perfumed' Japanese Camellia thrives in mild and humid climates and flourishes in coastal regions, in acidic, humus-rich and well-drained soil. It will tolerate full sun in favourable climates but will give its best in partial shade, protected from scorching sun and sheltered from strong winds. Plant out in e.g. a shrub bed, together with other acid-loving plants like Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Cornus Kousa or Kalmia Latifolia. This deliciously fragrant variety deserves a prime spot, near the entrance of the house or in a beautiful pot on the terrace, to be stored away in winter in cold climates.

Planting and care
Camellia 'Paddy's Perfumed' tolerates full, non-scorching sun in favourable (e.g. mild coastal) climates, but it thrives in partial shade or shade, protected from intense sunlight and sheltered from strong winds. Plant in a fresh, humus-rich, acidic, and well-drained soil. Do not plant the bush too deeply; the top of the root ball should be covered with 3 cm (1.2 in) of soil. In winter, cover it with a 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in) thick layer of mulch composed of leaf compost and shredded bark. Beware of late frosts that can damage the flowers and buds. Water during dry periods to prevent the bush dropping its flower buds. It is recommended to plant camellias in autumn to promote good root development and better flowering from the first year. Possible diseases include chlorosis caused by excess limestone, brown spots caused by burns on leaves exposed to full south, sooty mould, scale insects, and weevils.
Pruning is not necessary but if required should be done sparingly just after flowering, before the emergence of new spring shoots. Most camellia hybrids do not recover from hard pruning.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
