0.6-1.6ft Camellia ‘Blood of China’ | 9cm Pot | Camellia japonica

If red is your colour then this is the Camellia for you! A fantastic, vibrant red that appears early in the year when all else is looking rather grey. Camellia japonica ‘Blood of China’ is a beautiful yet hardy, evergreen shrub with rich scarlet red flowers from early spring and glossy and leathery leaves. It’s ideal for a mixed or spring border and the foliage provides an excellent foil for early perennials. The petals are wonderfully ruffled around a central point creating a fantastic display. Even once the flowers have dropped this plant still has great ornamental effect as its evergreen, glossy foliage is a welcome addition to any garden. As a small shrub, this Camellia is perfectly suited to planting in a container to bring some colour to a terrace or patio and will do best in ericaceous soil in either partial shade or sun
