Mrs. Lyman Clarke Camellia is a large upright evergreen shrub with glossy leaves that stay medium green year-round.  The large peony to anemone-formed soft pink flowers have creamy centers and blush deeper pink at the edges, with scattered golden stamen peaking between the petals. They bloom in late winter to early spring attracting butterflies.  Best blooms occur with partial sun and acidic, well-drained soil.

If desired, remove all but one bud from each cluster to increase the size of the flower. Prune immediately after flowering.
