Camellia japonica 'Dr King'
Camellia japonica 'Dr King' is a striking evergreen shrub that produces large, semi-double to peony-form blooms in a rich, vibrant red. Flowering from February to April, the bold blossoms create an eye-catching display against glossy, dark green foliage, bringing warmth and drama to shaded borders and woodland gardens in early spring.
