Camellia Emperor Of Russia 200mm

Camellia Emperor of Russia is a truly magnificent heritage Camellia, celebrated for its extraordinary variegated flowers and classic old-world beauty. Large, richly ruffled blooms combine brilliant crimson-red with irregular splashes, streaks and patches of crisp white, ensuring that every flower is wonderfully unique.

The dramatic blooms stand out beautifully against glossy, deep green evergreen foliage, creating a spectacular garden feature through the cooler months. With its lush growth and impressive flowers, Emperor of Russia is perfect as a feature shrub, informal screen, woodland garden specimen or as part of a collection of traditional Camellias.

This variety prefers morning sun or filtered light with protection from hot afternoon sun and drying winds. Plant in fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and maintain consistent moisture, particularly while buds are forming and flowers are opening.

Tip: Position Emperor of Russia where you can appreciate the flowers up close – the incredible red-and-white markings can vary from bloom to bloom. Protect it from harsh afternoon sun and heavy weather to help those spectacular variegated flowers stay looking their best for longer.
