Camellia Japonica 'Kramer's Supreme'

 

Kramer's Supreme Camellia captivates with abundant deep-red buds unfurling into sumptuous rose-red, peony-form blossoms that grace the landscape from winter through spring. Lustrous, deep-green foliage provides year-round architectural interest and refined backdrop to the floral display. This evergreen cultivar matures to 8–10 feet tall with a 6–8 foot spread, offering substantial presence and reliable performance in shade to part-sun conditions.

 

Kramer's Supreme Camellia requires well-draining soil and moderate watering practices to thrive—overwatering poses greater risk than underwatering. In clay-based soils prevalent in many regions, amending planting holes with pine bark or similar acidic soil conditioners substantially improves drainage and root health. This preparation method proves equally beneficial for companion acid-loving plants including rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurels, creating ideal growing conditions across the landscape.

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.
