Description

A U.S. National Arboretum introduction, ‘Ack-Scent’ is a small to mid-size Camellia japonica with an upright growth habit that produces an abundance of absolutely gorgeous, large and fragrant peony-form pink flowers in late winter and early spring. Adding an extra touch of beauty, a cylinder of white filaments with bright yellow anthers peek out from the center of each flower. To enjoy the flowers indoors display several cuttings in a vase or float just one in a bowl of water.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8-10 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide, Ack-Scent Camellia can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall.) When “limbed up” to form a small tree it serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, to frame corners, as a single specimen shrub or tree, screen or windbreak plantings, home foundations, in woodland gardens, and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 6a, where not winter hardy. Find Your Zone >

Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Camellia variety is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.

Having lived in S.C. I became a lover of Camellias. Traditionally Camellias can’t survive PA winters. You can’t imagine my delight when I found Wilson Brothers and their extensive selection of hardy to zone 6 Camellias. My first plant arrived a couple of weeks ago in fabulous condition. I was very impressed with the packing job, truly a healthy, happy plant. I noticed yesterday some new growth. I couldn’t be more happy!———————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

We live in zone 6b and selected this and two other winter-blooming camellias to add interest to our front yard. The plants arrived looking great—glossy green leaves and fat flower buds. This variety, planted as a screening specimen in our front side yard, will hide the little shed housing our garbage and recycling cans that we just put up next to the garage. Look forward to seeing and smelling the blooms soon.————————————Hi Beth, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Ack-Scent Fragrant Pink Camellia Japonica. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for all the great reviews!
