Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Camellia japonica ‘Black Lace’ – Velvet Black Camellia
🌺 Deep red flowers almost black • 🌿 Shiny evergreen foliage • 🏙️ Ideal for urban balconies & terraces • ☁️ Bright partial shade • ❄️ Hardy down to −12 °C
The Camellia japonica ‘Black Lace’ is an exceptional shrub, famous for its deep red flowers with almost black reflections. Its velvety petals contrast beautifully with its shiny dark green foliage, creating a theatrical and refined presence in any green space.
Its spectacular flowering occurs from February to April, a time when few other plants bloom, making this camellia a true gem for terraces and urban gardens. Evergreen and elegant, it retains all its beauty even when not in bloom.
Exposure & location
The Camellia ‘Black Lace’ appreciates filtered light and calm environments. It adapts perfectly to balconies, patios, and sheltered terraces.
- Exposure: partial shade to bright shade (avoid harsh full sun).
- Ideal for: east or north-facing balconies, sheltered terraces, bright undergrowth.
- Protection: sheltered from cold winds and late frosts.
- Soil: slightly acidic, fresh and well-drained (heath soil or potting soil with pine bark).
A gentle exposure and acidic soil are essential for abundant flowering and shiny leaves.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular, especially during flowering. Preferably use non-calcareous water.
- Mulching: with pine bark to keep the soil moist and acidic.
- Fertilizer: special heath plant fertilizer in spring.
- Pruning: light after flowering to remove faded flowers.
- Winter protection: winter cover recommended in cold climates.
Avoid moving your camellia during flower bud formation: this can cause them to drop.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
- Zen atmosphere: pair it with a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) for an elegant and calming duo.
- Shade bed: combine it with ferns and hostas for a lush setting.
- Complementary blooms: match it with azaleas and rhododendrons.
