Description
Bella Rouge Camellia is another amazing plant brought to us by the Southern Living Plant Collection. Its smaller size (4-5' height x 4-5'wide) and stunning semi-double red flowers give us a Camellia that is perfect for planting in smaller spaces and adding brilliant color to the garden during the fall season. Flowers start appearing in early fall and continue into winter in our gardens. Deep green leaves are an excellent backdrop for the flowers. These flowers are great for cutting and display in floral arrangements. Once established, Bella Rouge requires little if any maintenance. An annual feeding in early spring is all.
