This reliable variety bears large, semi double crimson blooms set off by golden stamens, offering a dramatic contrast against glossy dark green foliage.

Once established, camellias are low-maintenance and resilient. They thrive in partial shade or dappled sunlight and suit a range of soil types with good drainage, making them perfect for sheltered spots and under tree canopies. Water throughout the Summer months as this is when the flower buds are produced. Avoid prolonged spells of watering with tap water if you live in a hard water area.
