The Camellia japonica 'Femme Fatale' is a stunning evergreen shrub that brings a splash of vibrant colour to any garden. This cultivar is renowned for its large, striking pink flowers which bloom profusely in spring, creating a vivid display against the backdrop of its glossy, dark green foliage. The 'Femme Fatale' thrives in partially shaded areas, making it perfect for adding depth and colour under canopies or in north-facing gardens.



It's an excellent choice for planting in borders or as a standalone feature in a pot. When planted in groups, these Camellias create an eye-catching display, especially when complemented with other shade-loving plants like ferns or Hostas. They are also a wonderful addition to woodland gardens, paired with Rhododendrons or Azaleas to create a tapestry of colour and texture.



Beyond their beauty, these plants are practical, too, being relatively low maintenance and offering a haven for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Their evergreen nature ensures year-round interest, making the Camellia 'Femme Fatale' a must-have for any garden enthusiast.

Plant Care Guide



Camellia 'Femme Fatale' requires minimal care, thriving in well-drained, acidic soil. It prefers a sheltered position away from strong winds and scorching sun, thriving best in partial shade. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, but be cautious of waterlogging. Mulching annually with organic matter helps retain soil moisture and maintain acidity. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering to shape the plant and encourage healthy growth. Protect from frost in winter with a suitable fleece.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Delivery Discrepancies

Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
