Camellia japonica Korean Fire

Description: The vivid single red blooms are two an a half inches to three inches wide with the petals radiating out from the center of golden yellow stamens - a real eye catcher. Shiny evergreen foliage is dark green. The plant matures with a large spreading habit up to 15 feet high by 8 feet wide, but can be pruned to as short as 3-4 feet.

A Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 2003 Gold Medal Winner! These winners are thoroughly tested and carefully chosen. You know Korean Fire will perform to your expectations. Camellia 'Korean Fire' is ideal as a foundation plant, as a hedge, or naturalized in a woodland setting under large shade trees.

Camellias do best in acid, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Keep the roots cool with three inches of mulch. Choose a spot protected from the winter winds with morning sun and afternoon shade. Against the east wall of a building is ideal. Cottonseed Meal fertilizer and Kelp Meal should be applied once during December and a second time in April. When necessary prune immediately after flowering. Once established, Camellias are extremely drought tolerant and do not require supplemental watering except in periods of extreme drought.
