Description

April Tryst is a prized selection from the April Camellia Series, which were developed to have improved winter cold hardiness and a later bloom cycle than most other Camellia japonica. It is one of the few Camellia japonica recommended for growing in USDA Zone 6a, as far north as St Louis, Missouri!

One of the most cold hardy in the April Camellia Series, ‘April Tryst’ produces an abundance of absolutely gorgeous, 4-inch wide, double, anemone-form fragrant flowers with petals graced in shades of deep red to rose red for an eye-catching show of color in March, April, and May. Glossy dark green foliage provides amazing contrast and a wonderful backdrop for the plentiful flowers. The flowers are excellent for cutting and display in indoor flower arrangements. A must have for camellia enthusiasts and collectors as well as those who love unique and interesting flowers.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to about 8 feet tall and 5 or so feet wide, the April Tryst Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in partially shaded landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows, lower branches can be removed to form a small tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, red theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 6a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 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.

I can’t say enough about these plants and the great customer service that came along with them! I had been researching potential plants to plant in my patio area for a few years, and the Wilson Brothers website was very helpful. Once I had decided what to buy, I reached out to Wilson Brothers online and via phone, and again they were very helpful. Once ordered, the seven camellias made it safe and sound from Georgia to Washington state; the plants were healthy and happy when they arrived. I followed the directions on the website about how to plant them, and they seem to be doing well! I’m looking forward to enjoying these plants for a long time. Thank you!—————————-Thanks so much for the photos!! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The plant arrived in very good condition , considering the shipping company did everything they could to destroy the packaging. Plant health was good and the pot intact with soil and moisture levels very good . the protection provided by the packaging kept soil in the pot and prevented damage to the plant . The shipper must have tossed and/or dropped the box repeatedly, as it was not in the best of condition. I was surprised at the really good condition of plant and soil considering this fact. Keep up the really great work and don’t drop your standards——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! We try real hard! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Just a quick note to say thank you. I was so pleasantly surprised when my plants arrived by mail. Everything so securely packaged and I’d honestly say the bushes looked happy when they arrived. Truly the best plants I’ve gotten — from anywhere. Now, 3 weeks after planting, all 10 look wonderful, full, and healthy in my NJ garden. Thank you for outstanding plants and an outstanding experience from start to finish! (And I’ll be back!)———————————————–Wow!

I ordered 5 April Tryst camelias. They arrived within days, and were well-packaged, lush plants. I planted about three weeks ago and they have continued to thrive. I have purchased other shrubs from Wilson Bros., and highly recommend them for their quality, customer service and pricing.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase!

Received this plant in excellent condition. I’m excited to have this plant so far north. You see these around rarely. This site makes it extremely easy to find plants for the zone you live in. Can’t wait to see it bloom.——————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

First of all I love the plant description and pictures Wilson Bros has on their website along with the large variety of plants. My camellia arrived in perfect condition and very healthy. It was larger than expected because most companies send tiny little plants that take years to grow. My camellia is growing well and already putting on growth. I will definitely be purchasing more plants from Wilson Bros. I am an extremely satisfied customer.——————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

So exciting! My April Tyrst arrived within a couple days of on-line order in perfect condition. I was thrilled it had two buds, which I eagerly monitored days after planting to see the full bloom. The plant had new green shoots and came with detailed planting instructions. I’ve already recommended Wilson Bros Gardens to my friends.———————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Wilson Bros camellias have always had the best selection and good pricing. The plants are huge. Perfect packing job. Never a leaf out of place.————————————Thanks for the kind words!! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Although one of the boxes arrived terribly mangled, all four of the camellias were in great condition. I am very happy with the quality of plants I received. They were a good size and the two Dream Weaver Sasanquas had buds! We planted them the day they arrived, and I can’t wait to see them in bloom.
I would definitely order from Wilson Bros Gardens again.——————————————Glad to hear that even though the box was damaged that the plants arrived unscathed. As you noticed, over the years we’ve developed a packaging method that protects plants even if the box is handled roughly, which allows us to offer our “safe shipping guarantee” on any and every order. Thanks for the kind words! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

MY April Tryst Camellia arrived the week before last and my husband and I
were absolutely thrilled by the beauty of the plant and amazed at the careful
and skillful packaging. It arrived in beautifully perfect condition. I look
forward to receiving plants from you in the future.
With regards.———————————–Thanks so much for the awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG 🙂

I cannot express how happy I was to receive our TWO April Trysts, in great condition, despite being shipped all the way to the Philadelphia area. I couldn’t find any locally that weren’t ridiculously expensive so I took a chance ordering from here. They have been in the ground for about three weeks now and they have new growth! They were packaged well and the shipping was FREE! You cannot go wrong here!—————————————WBG Reply: Hi Alexis, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the April Tryst Camellia. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
