Camellia Holly Bright

Camellia japonica Holly Bright, features large, semi-double crimson flowers with distinctive creped petals that appear from autumn to winter. The vibrant flowers contrast sharply against the evergreen, serrated foliage, reminiscent of holly leaves, which gives this variety its name. This striking display provides a splash of color during the cooler months, adding vibrancy when many other plants are dormant.

Holly Bright exhibits a medium compact and upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for formal, cottage, and Asian-inspired garden styles. It can be effectively used as a specimen plant, in borders, or as a hedge, offering both structure and seasonal color. This variety is happiest in morning sun or semi-shade, particularly thriving in well-draining, acidic soil.

Grows to approx. 2.5m tall and 2m wide. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its dense, bushy appearance and encourages a better flowering period for the following year.
