Camellia Greensboro Red
Camellia Greensboro Red is an evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant, rose-red blooms that brighten the garden from late fall through early spring. Featuring large, semi-double flowers with a rich, velvety texture, this Southern favorite creates a bold splash of color when most other plants are dormant. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides year-round beauty and serves as an elegant backdrop to the brilliant blossoms. Ideal for use as a specimen plant, foundation shrub, or in mixed borders, Greensboro Red thrives in partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil, offering both beauty and resilience in the landscape.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: is considered low-maintenance once established. It benefits from consistent moisture, mulching to keep roots cool, and light pruning after flowering to shape the plant. Fertilize with an acid-loving plant food in spring, and avoid heavy pruning or fertilizing in late summer, which can disrupt bud formation.
LANDSCAPE USES: is perfect as a specimen shrub, foundation planting, or accent in shaded borders, and it also works beautifully in woodland gardens, privacy screens, or as part of a mixed hedge. Its bold red blooms and evergreen foliage make it a standout in winter landscapes and a reliable backdrop for seasonal color.
