Camellia Japonica 'Fire Falls'

 

Fire Falls Camellia captivates with abundant crimson peony-form flowers that emerge throughout winter and spring, set against lustrous evergreen foliage that sustains garden presence year-round. Reaching 8–10 feet tall with a 6–8 foot spread at maturity, this cultivar functions as a commanding specimen plant or layered garden component, offering both seasonal blooms and persistent structural interest. Its glossy deep-green leaves provide elegant textural contrast in mixed plantings, while the extended flowering window delivers reliable color during months when few shrubs perform. Pair strategically with complementary camellias such as Professor Sargent to create sophisticated seasonal progressions and balanced garden architecture.

 

Fire Falls Camellia thrives in well-draining soil conditions, as the species prefers moderate moisture levels rather than consistently wet conditions. In clay-heavy regions like North Carolina, amending planting holes with pine bark soil conditioner significantly improves drainage and root establishment for camellias and companion acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, mountain laurels, and azaleas. Proper soil preparation at planting time reduces long-term watering requirements and promotes vigorous growth, making this initial investment in soil amendment essential for sustained plant performance and longevity.

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.
