Long-lasting double red blooms cover this compact, upright shrub beginning in early spring and make excellent cut flowers. Camellia japonica 'Lady Campbell,' with its dark glossy foliage, makes a stunning foil for summer flowering perennials when planted at the back of borders. This refined, slow-growing shrub prefers acid soil but can be grown as a striking specimen plant in ericaceous compost containers. Ideal for adding evergreen structure to low-maintenance gardens. Height and spread: 2m (6?).
