1 Live Plant Professor Sargent Red Camellia Japonica Starter Plant

Professor Sargent Red Camellia Japonica is a broadleaf evergreen shrub prized for its formal double crimson blooms and glossy dark foliage that remains attractive year round. This classic japonica camellia brings mid to late season color to mild winter gardens, containers, and woodland borders. Its upright habit and dense branching make it an elegant specimen or an informal hedge over time.
Use it as a focal point near entryways, along foundations, or in partially shaded beds where its rich red flowers stand out against deep green leaves. The blooms are long lasting on the plant and hold well when cut. It grows slowly to moderately and responds well to light shaping after flowering. Provide shelter from harsh winter sun and drying winds. Avoid disturbing the root zone once established.
