Description
Rosehill Red is one of the most impressive red flowering Camellias on the market today. Its lustrous, large, dark-green leaves provide a wonderful backdrop for the dazzling, anemone-form, bright red flowers appearing in late winter continuing through early spring. A true garden jewel!
Landscape & Garden Uses
A moderate growing Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 8-10 feet tall and 5 feet wide, Rosehill Red can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub, it is ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, in groupings, and is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall). As it grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a small tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Great for cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where not winter hardy.

Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
