I just bought a place with hedges and I want to take good care of them but first need to identify them - does anyone recognise? There are 2 plants shown in the album below. Many thanks! Imgur
The one with the red flower is a Camellia variety (probably a Sasanqua or Japonica). The other might also be a camellia but as there is no flowers yet I'm not sure.
Yeah the red flowering one is a camellia. The leaves on the other one look like gardenia. If it is, it has strongly perfumed white flowers.
OMG Are you able to provide a link to that man in the supermarket, singing with his earphones in? I've not laughed so much for a while...
Thanks @Westminster - your google skills are better than mine. That is soooo funny. Now I can send it to my friends to give them a giggle.
lol thanks the non-flowering one... still narrowing it down. Next question is - how do I keep these from getting any taller? It's good the way it is now.
I don’t think gardenias make such a good hedge? I don’t recognise the leaves. The hedge you will have to keep trimming! The camellia will probably not grow much taller, it depends on the variety but it looks like it has also been trimmed a bit to keep its dense shape. Gorgeous flowers!
Been well kept probably with an electric hedge trimmer (about$100 u know where) every year after flowering . Ladders also . Should be fun .
