Camellia japonica 'Roger Hall' (Pot Size 4L) Japanese Camellia sold by Boma Garden Centre

This vigorous upright evergreen shrub is prized for its striking formal double flowers in clear red, measuring 7.5cm across, produced from early to late spring. The glossy dark green foliage with finely serrated edges provides an elegant backdrop to the blooms.Plant in partial shade in a sheltered position, away from cold, dry winds and harsh early morning sun that can damage buds and flowers. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and acidic in pH. This hardy H5 rated camellia suits city gardens, cottage settings, flower borders, and makes an excellent specimen for hedging or screening in semi-shaded locations. Prune lightly in early spring to maintain shape, and feed in spring and mid-summer with general purpose fertiliser. Over time it develops into a substantial shrub reaching 4-8m in both height and spread.
