Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rich pinkish red camellia. The semi double flowers cover the plant in March.
Bright semi-double anemone-form red flowers are striking against a background of dark glossy-green foliage on this large (to 10't x 5'w) shrub in early-to-mid-spring... a great cure for the winter blahs! PSh-Sh/M
Dark green, evergreen, glossy foliage contrasts beautifully with the striking red, semi double, anemone-form flowers. Blooms in mid spring. Growth Rate medium
Dark green foliage with red semi-double flowers make this a early to mid-season selection of outstanding merit. It has long been a favorite, introduced into the U.S. in 1931. It can take sunshine better than most.
