A renowned, early-blooming cultivar known for its small, formal double flowers that are deep red with distinct white splotches, often appearing as early as December. Translating to "Chrysanthemum in Winter Solstice," this vigorous, evergreen shrub typically grows to 10 feet high and thrives in partial shade to full shade.
Wonderful to cut for a vase or float in a bowl. Glossy green leaves are evergreen all winter long. 3 gallon pot from a grower in North Carolina.
Camellias must have acidic, well-drained soil and be planted high (trunk base is well above the soil line). Mulch to keep roots cool.
