A wonderful Camellia for those who want to add a splash of colour. The bright red flowers stand out brilliantly against the dark green glossy foliage.
'Black Lace' may provide you with much needed winter colour as early as late April in some years with flowering continuing for several weeks well into spring. As the bloom intensifies in early spring they are just spectacular. The arrangement of petals is so symmetrical it creates a mesmerizing effect as your brain tries to make sense of the flower vortex.
As a small shrub this Camellia is perfectly suited to planting in a container to bring some colour to a terrace or patio and will do best in ericaceous soil in either partial shade or sun.
Could get to 2.5m if allowed.
