Scarlet Sunset™ Camellia

A fall-blooming evergreen shrub valued for its large, richly red flowers that put on a show for about six weeks each autumn when most of the garden has gone quiet. Its dark, glossy foliage stays attractive year-round, making it a strong choice for foundation plantings, informal hedges, or as a specimen near a patio or entry. Like other sasanqua camellias, it favors acidic, well-drained soil and benefits from afternoon shade in hotter climates to protect its blooms and foliage.
