Camellia Winters Fire

Winters Fire Camellia

A vibrant camellia valued for its bright red semi-double flowers, glossy evergreen foliage, and reliable winter-to-early-spring bloom. Blooms open to vivid red petals surrounding golden stamens, delivering bold color and strong contrast during the cold season when few shrubs are in flower.

Growth is upright to rounded, forming a dense evergreen shrub with excellent structure and year-round presence.
