The flowers usually open a red to dark red and then turn to deep red displaying black in the veins and around the edges on the second day. The lustrous, rich green toothed leaves provide a wonderful backdrop for the flowers.

As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, and as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to a desired height to form an attractive focal point specimen tree ideal for use in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to red or black color theme gardens, camellia gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter in zones north of 7a, where this cultivar is not reliably winter hardy. \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFind Your Zone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  5 to 6 feet or more for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCamellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter.
