Camellia japonica 'Black Tie'


This striking evergreen shrub showcases abundant small, double flowers in deep crimson that beautifully complement its lustrous dark foliage. Blooming from winter through spring, the Black Tie Camellia reaches substantial size and responds best to selective, light pruning performed after flowering concludes. Avoid heavy shearing, as these plants recover poorly from aggressive cuts. Position in a location with afternoon shade and wind protection to shield delicate buds and foliage from harsh conditions. This cultivar thrives with thoughtful placement and minimal intervention.


Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
