Camellia japonica 'Bob Hope'
This compact grower features brilliant deep red, large semi-double blooms with wavy petals. Great for growing in containers in courtyards.
Cultural
Part shade. Red varieties will grow well in a partly shaded warm position. Well drained, slightly acidic soil. Dense shade restricts flowering. Fertilise in spring and summer with a specific Camellia fertiliser or a complete organic fertiliser. Prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape.
Landscape Uses
Fantastic flowering garden shrubs, very hardy and drought tolerant once established. Suitable for growing in containers in small courtyards or entertaining areas. Plant with other traditional favourites like Azalea, Pieris and Helleborus
