Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Has 2” red single red flowers with a large center of white stamens. This showy camellia will get 8'x 3' in time. Limited
This is one of the many fine introductions from Nuccio's Nursery. This miniature gem is a brilliant red anemone form with a few white streaked inner petaloids offset by brilliant yellow stamens. This compact and upright plant is just right for the small flowers and makes a good container plant.
