Brighten up your garden with the uniquely fragrant, deep blooms of Camellia 'Blood of China', a vigorous evergreen shrub prized for its outstanding, colorful contrast in the late winter landscape. Known for being one of the rare camellias that produces fragrant, deep red flowers with an orange cast, this Japonica hybrid is a true showpiece. The large, 3–4 inch semi-double to loose peony-form flowers appear in a stunning display against the backdrop of rich, dark green foliage from late winter to early spring. This vigorous shrub or small tree reaches a mature height of 10–12 feet and a width of 8–10 feet, making it an ideal choice as a dramatic focal point, a robust screen, or an espalier on a wall.
