Camellia Japonica 'Emperor of Russia' is a regal evergreen shrub admired for its brilliant scarlet, double blooms that appear from early winter through spring. The vibrant flowers, accented by golden stamens and intricate twisted inner petals, bring a bold splash of colour to the cooler months. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a lush, dense backdrop, enhancing the striking beauty of its flowers.
With a strong upright growth habit, Emperor of Russia is perfect for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant. Thriving in well-drained, slightly acidic soils, it prefers morning sun or partial shade and requires protection from harsh afternoon sun. Low maintenance and elegant, this timeless camellia is a standout in both formal and informal garden settings.
