Description

An exceptionally cold hardy and relatively new Ackerman hydrid, the Red Fellow Camellia stuns passing visitors with its striking neon red blooms that stand out remarkably well against a backdrop of dark green evergreen foliage. Dense, and growing to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, Red Fellow is excellent for use as an accent or espalier in home foundation plantings or in groupings or as an evergreen hedge in landscape borders. A show stopper for sure and bound to gain all the attention in winter to late spring when its abundant blooms glow in the garden!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing up to 8 feet tall and up to 4 to 6 feet wide, Red Fellow Camellia Japonica can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as hedge or background plant. It is especially nice as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) or corner plant in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 6a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants

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.
