The historic camellia Vergine di Collebeato is one of the most beautiful Italian camellias. The completely double and spirally arranged snow-white flowers are approx. 10 cm tall and form seven in the middle! Spirals. This unique formation may not always be visible on all of the flowers on the bush, but it is nonetheless a wonderful work of art. It blooms from February until the end of the season.

The growth is upright and bushy, the foliage is medium green, lanceolate and slightly toothed.

According to Hillebrand, Vergine di Collebato is probably a sport from Alba Plena. It was named after Collebeato, a small village near Brescia.

Vergine di Collebeato has very good winter hardiness and is a gem for the garden thanks to its special spiral-shaped flowers.

Quality testing

Each camellia is carefully checked before shipping and, in addition to the plant passport, receives a weatherproof aluminum variety label.

No drying out

Each plant is watered thoroughly before shipping. The plant pot is then covered with a plastic bag to prevent the root ball from drying out.

Protectively packaged

The camellia is then carefully wrapped in newspaper or wrapping paper so that the leaves, buds and flowers are well protected.

No slipping

The camellia is fixed in the cardboard box so that it cannot slip.

Shatterproof cardboard boxes

Our camellias are shipped in specially made, sturdy cardboard boxes and can therefore arrive to you intact and in excellent condition.

Safe in the truck

We ship particularly large camellias via a shipping company. Here too, the plants are excellently packaged.

Freight forwarding delivery

For very large camellias with a height of 1.50 to 2.30 meters, shipping is carried out by a shipping company. The very well packaged camellia is transported standing on a Euro pallet. The delivery time within Germany is 2-3 days; within Europe up to 1 week. The transport costs are calculated individually depending on where you live. Please contact us by phone or email before ordering.

About Us

I bought my first camellia over 20 years ago. At that time I had my office next to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt and regularly visited the various plant exhibitions. This also applies to the camellia exhibition in February. I was enchanted by the blaze of color, the wonderful flower shapes and the elegant habit of the camellias and couldn't decide which of the many I should take home with me. It was difficult to choose the most beautiful camellia from such a variety. For me it became Jury's Yellow, which accompanied me for many years and even endured on our roof terrace during the particularly hot summer of 2003.
