Sparkling Burgundy Camellia

The Sparking Burgundy Camellia is a rapid-growing camellia bush that blooms in fall, at the very beginning of the camellia season. This plant in your garden will extend your camellia time by months, and it continues to flower through winter too. It forms an open, upright bush 6 to 10 feet tall, and 4 to 8 feet wide, and it will look lovely as a focal point in your garden, spread out across a wall or trellis, or in a beautiful container on your terrace. The evergreen foliage is glossy and deep green, making a great background for your spring and summer flowering plants.

• Rich purple-red informal flowers open in fall
• Robust evergreen bush to 10 feet tall
• Superb variety for zones 7, 8 and 9
• Grows well in partial shade
• Easy to grow in a pot if you don’t have suitable soil

The Sparkling Burgundy Camellia grows best in partial shade, or morning sun and afternoon shade, so it is ideal for the north side of buildings, or for shady areas underneath deciduous trees. It grows in warmer parts of zone 7, as well as in zones 8 and 9, in acidic soil, with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. If you don’t have the right type of soil – no problem. Just plant in a pot or planter box, using soil for acid-loving plants. Water regularly in pots and in the garden, as camellias need moist, but well-drained soil.
