Camellia x williamsii 'Debbie' is a delightful and sought-after evergreen shrub renowned for its exquisite blooms and elegant foliage. This camellia cultivar is a hybrid between Camellia saluenensis and Camellia japonica, resulting in a plant that offers the best of both parents. 'Debbie' typically reaches a height of 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) and forms a compact, upright bush with glossy, deep green leaves that provide year-round interest in the garden.
What truly sets 'Debbie' apart is its striking flowers. These blooms appear in late winter to early spring, when the garden often needs a splash of color the most. The semi-double to peony-like flowers are around 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) in diameter, and they boast an enchanting blend of soft pink and white petals. The flowers are further adorned with a central cluster of golden stamens, adding to their allure.
Camellia x williamsii 'Debbie' is known for its tolerance of colder temperatures, making it well-suited for UK gardens. It thrives in partial shade to protect its delicate blossoms from harsh sunlight and strong winds. Providing well-drained, acidic soil and mulching around the base of the plant helps maintain optimal growing conditions.
With its graceful appearance and captivating blossoms, 'Debbie' is a popular choice for both ornamental gardens and as a focal point in woodland settings. Its long-lasting blooms and evergreen foliage ensure year-round visual appeal, making it a cherished addition to the diverse world of camellias. Whether grown in a container or planted directly in the ground, Camellia x williamsii 'Debbie' adds a touch of elegance and charm to any garden in the United Kingdom, enchanting gardeners and visitors alike with its timeless beauty.

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
