Our namesake Camellia! This one may trace its roots to the Cone brothers (Google it, great article in the News & Record years ago). Now the favorite red Camellia everywhere it can be grown (Zones 7-10).
This large, upright form can be used as a privacy screen, specimen, or back-of-the-border structure. Can take full sun, part sun, or full shade. In full shade it will have a more open habit.
10-12' x 7-8'
A great, early-blooming, camellia with light red flowers is deserving of a prominent place in the landscape.
