Camellia japonica 'Greensboro Red'

 

Greensboro Red Camellia, with its large size and evergreen foliage, makes a showstopping privacy hedge or screen. With multiple light red flowers from late winter into spring, this small tree or shrub is cold hardy, deer resistant, and likes some pruning after flowering. Heavy pruning is discouraged. Like most camellias, it will benefit most from a bit of shelter from the wind and hot sun, since buds and leaves are susceptible to the extreme elements.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer fall planting with 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.
