Long-lasting double, red blooms smother this compact, upright shrub from early spring, and make exquisite cut flowers. Clothed in dark glossy foliage, Camellia japonica 'Lady Campbell' makes a stunning foil for summer flowering perennials when planted at the back of borders. This refined slow growing shrub prefers an acid soil, but can be grown as a striking specimen plant in containers of ericaceous compost. Perfect for providing evergreen structure in low maintenance gardens. Height and spread: 2m (6’).
Culinary note: The flowers can be used as garnishes but are also dried and then cooked in Asian cuisine. For more details about edible flowers click here.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Water regularly until plants are fully established. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed Camellias occasionally with fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Protect plants from cold winter winds and strong early morning sunlight, as this may cause the buds to drop in early spring.
Camellias will appreciate an autumn mulch to protect their roots from winter cold. Camellias require little pruning other than to maintain their shape. Lightly trim stems and remove faded blooms immediately after flowering.
