Description
Camellia ‘Sweet Emily Kate’ is a creeping variety with small, fragrant, double, pale pink flowers.
This variety blooms from March to May and forms a small, remarkable, prostrate and practically trailing bush, 60 cm (23.6 in) tall and 80 cm (31.5 in) wide. It produces a large quantity of small, fragrant, double, pale pink flowers with a diameter of about 4 cm to 5 cm (1.6 in to 2 in). Its dark green leaves measure 5 cm to 7 cm (2 in to 2.8 in) in length and are evergreen. Hardy up to -12° C (10.4° F), this variety is grown in partial shade or full sun, sheltered from cold winds. It likes acidic, humus-rich, moist and light soils.
Plant in ericaceous soil alongside azaleas, Skimmia, Japanese Quince, and heathers. Plant it in autumn with tulips and daffodils for a magnificent and colourful scene. Its compact size also allows it to be grown in a pot. Plant it on a semi-shaded terrace, along a wall, protected from cold and drying winds.
The name Camellia was given to the plant in 1735 by the Swedish naturalist Carl von Linné, in homage to Georg Josef Kamel (Latinised as "Camellus"), an apothecary in the service of the Jesuits in the Philippines in the late 17th century. It was not until 1792 that the Camellia arrived in Europe.

Planting and care
Plant in a shaded area or in full sun, protected from cold and drying winds. However, you can also grow it in full sun as long as the roots stay cool. Plant it in cool, humus-bearing, 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 cm to 7 cm (2 in to 2.8 in) thick mulch made of leaf compost and crushed bark. Be careful of late frosts that can damage the flowers and buds. During dry periods, water the bush to prevent the dropping of flower buds.

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.
