Camellia chekiangoleosa

A large shrub or small tree eventually in ideal conditions, related to C. japonica, but with larger flowers of a purer red and native to China. Glossy dark evergreen foliage, paler beneath, with abundant rich-red flowers usually up to 10cm across and with a boss of yellow stamen, produced from mid-winter to spring. Rated as hardy to below -10c in the USA, this is also grown well here in the UK though is as yet a rarity. ‘A thoroughly desirable addition to a collection’ (Hudson 2004).
