- Camellia japonica Silver Anniversary is a particularly beautiful camellia which ought to be celebrated. It makes a superb gift for a Silver Wedding Anniversary, or indeed any other anniversary or special occasion
- With deep green, waxy leaves camellia japonicas are evergreen shrubs which always provide much needed colour and structure to the winter and early spring garden when many plants will have died back
- Silver Anniversary bears large white, peony-form flowers with golden stamens from late winter to early spring and provides a welcome glow in gloomy light levels
- It's a reasonably fast-growing plant with an upright habit and can be used as a stand-alone specimen, or planted into a mixed or shrub border
