Description
Camellia japonica 'Lady Campbell' is a stunning evergreen flowering shrub, renowned for its luxurious deep red double flowers and glossy dark green foliage. This classic camellia variety brings elegance and structure to the garden, especially in late winter and early spring when colour is most needed.
From late winter into spring, 'Lady Campbell' produces an abundance of formal double blooms in rich crimson-red, creating a bold and sophisticated display. The flowers contrast beautifully with its dense, shiny evergreen leaves, ensuring year-round visual appeal.
With its upright, bushy growth habit, this camellia is ideal for borders, woodland gardens, shaded planting areas, and patio containers. It is particularly effective in ericaceous planting schemes, pairing beautifully with rhododendrons and azaleas.
This variety is perfect for adding winter interest, structure, and long-lasting colour to the garden, while also offering a refined, classic look.
Supplied at 60–80cm in height in a 5L pot, this well-established plant provides immediate presence and will continue to develop into a beautiful flowering shrub.
