Royal Velvet Camellia

Royal Velvet Camellia is an elegant evergreen shrub admired for its lush, dark green leaves and dramatic deep red blooms that appear from late winter into early spring. Its dense, rounded form provides year-round structure and a polished look in the landscape. Reaching 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide at maturity, it works beautifully in shaded borders, foundation beds, or as a striking specimen plant.
