Camellia japonica Lady Campbell

Camellia japonica 'Lady Campbell' is a flowering evergreen shrub admired for its abundance of perfectly formed, semi-double to peony-style blooms in deep scarlet-red. Flowering over a long period from late winter into early spring, this variety adds a bold splash of colour when little else is in bloom. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides year-round structure and creates a striking contrast with the beautiful flowers.

Compact and upright in habit, 'Lady Campbell' is ideal for growing in borders, woodland gardens, or large containers. It thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade, protected from harsh afternoon sun and cold winds. Low-maintenance and reliably hardy, it benefits from a mulch in spring and occasional pruning to remove dead or straggly growth after flowering. Pair with other acid-loving plants like Rhododendrons, Pieris, or Heucheras for a beautifully textured, seasonally rich garden display. Perfect for adding elegance, colour, and structure to any garden.

Supplied in approx. 3 litre containers full of bud in season.
