Camellia japonica Dr. King is an elegant evergreen shrub admired for its large, bright rose-red, semi-double blooms that appear from late winter through early spring. Each flower is beautifully shaped, with broad, overlapping petals and a cluster of golden stamens at the centre, offering a vibrant contrast against the plant’s glossy, dark green foliage.
With a strong, upright growth habit, Dr. King is ideal as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or grown in containers. It thrives in acidic, well-drained soil and prefers partial shade.
This classic camellia adds bold colour, structure, and timeless beauty to winter and early spring gardens.
