Hybrid. A handsome Camellia with a vigorous, dense, growth habit and show-off bright red flowers that are double, frilly and have an unusual speckled centre. Flowers in early spring. Plant in semi-shade with acid soil for best results. Evergreen.

Naturally this Camellia would make a perfect gift for those who have made it to the "I've been married for 40 years" mark.
