Compact and vigorous, Camellia 'Lady Campbell' is an eye-catching Japanese camellia with masses of medium-sized, bright red, rose-form flowers, 3-4 in. wide (7-10 cm) in late season (March - May in the Northern Hemisphere; August - October in the Southern Hemisphere). The blooms contrast beautifully with the evergreen foliage of oval, glossy, dark green leaves.
- This shrub has an upright, bushy form and grows up to 6-7 ft. tall and wide (180-210 cm)
- A part shade to full shade lover, this plant is best grown in consistently moist, acidic, organically rich, well-drained soils. Provide a site sheltered from cold, dry winds as buds and flowers may be damaged by cold winds. Protect from early morning sun and from direct hot summer afternoon sun.
- Camellias are susceptible to some viruses and fungal diseases including leaf spots, anthracnose, black mold, petal blight, canker and root rot. Watch also for aphids, planthoppers and spider mites.
- Mass in mixed shrub borders for dramatic winter blooms. Great flowering shrub for woodland gardens or as screen and hedge. Perfect as a specimen plant and may be effectively grown in tubs or large containers.
- Apply a root mulch (leaves or shredded bark)
- Prune after flowering. Prune to thin branching and to control size and shape.
