Description

Bella Rouge Camellia is another amazing plant brought to us by the Southern Living Plant Collection. Its smaller size (4-5′ height x 4-5’wide) and stunning semi-double red flowers give us a Camellia that is perfect for planting in smaller spaces and adding brilliant color to the garden during the fall season. Flowers start appearing in early fall and continue into winter in our gardens. Deep green leaves are an excellent backdrop for the flowers. These flowers are great for cutting and display in floral arrangements. Once established, Bella Rouge requires little if any maintenance. An annual feeding in early spring is all.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide, the Bella Rouge Camellia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a colorful evergreen hedge or background to lower-growing plants. I fine addition to red color theme gardens, 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. Find Your Zone

Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

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.
