Camellia "Colonel Firey" is a shade loving plant that will load up with large sized dark red blooms, so plenty of color to enjoy, especially when the flowers are set against the contrast of the glossy dark green evergreen foliage. Camellias are a 'must have' plant for milder regions of the United States. Be bold if you are in a colder area and enjoy a camellia in your covered patio or sun porch. Enjoy the blossoms from your colonel firey camellia mid to late season. This red blooming camellia would be stunning inserted into side yards for short range window viewing, or integrated into a large shrub bed with other acid loving plants. Consider under a large shade tree with a filtered canopy. Camellias are hardy to USDA zone 8 and all higher zones. Keep soil moist, not soggy or dry. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden.
