Camellia japonica 'Korean Fire Cherry Red'

 

Korean Fire Cherry Red Camellia is considered to have the most beautiful foliage of any camellia. It has very showy, vibrant red flowers with an eye catching center of golden-yellow stamens. Slow growing, this hardy evergreen can reach 10-15 feet and a width of 5-8 feet and can survive in zone 6.

 

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.
