Camellia japonica 'Nicky Crisp'

This Camellia is following the trend of developing shrubs for smaller gardens and ones which can be used either as stand alone specimen plants or used as a hedge. It grows to about 2 metres and is quite bushy making it an easy care hedge plant. The flowers are well formed and about 10cm across. I quite like the arrangement pictured here where the flowers have been floated in a bowl with some nasturtium leaves.
