Hybrid. A handsome Camellia with a vigorous, dense, growth habit and show-off bright red flowers that are double, frilly and have an unusual speckled centre. Flowers in early spring. Plant in semi-shade with acid soil for best results. Evergreen.

Hybrid. Desirable for the upright slender growth habit. Small, scented, single pure white flowers with golden stamens appear from autumn through to lateb spring. These are offset against very dark green foliage. Ideal for driveway and group planting. Happiest in semi shade. Evergreen.

I have a group of these growing against a grey fence in the garden, they are remarkably tolerant of heat and sun though I am sure they would be happier in part shade. Even though the situation is less than ideal they flower for months. Information Page
