Description
Bella Rouge Camellia is another amazing plant brought to us by the Southern Living Plant Collection. Its smaller size (4-5′ height x 4-5’wide) and stunning semi-double red flowers give us a Camellia that is perfect for planting in smaller spaces and adding brilliant color to the garden during the fall season. Flowers start appearing in early fall and continue into winter in our gardens. Deep green leaves are an excellent backdrop for the flowers. These flowers are great for cutting and display in floral arrangements. Once established, Bella Rouge requires little if any maintenance. An annual feeding in early spring is all.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide, the Bella Rouge Camellia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a colorful evergreen hedge or background to lower-growing plants. I fine addition to red color theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.

Spacing:Â 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.

Brilliant color. Well packaged.—————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
Really enjoy working with Wilson Bros – they provide great information. The Plants arrived quickly and very well packed. When I decided to create a fall/winter Camellia garden I came across these smaller sasanqua camellias which I can shape for this garden area. .I chose the Bella Rouge for their delicate size and beautiful wine color. Excited for the buds to flower. The ability to control the plant size while also providing a splash of vibrant color during fall and winter made this plant a perfect choice for this area along my front porch walkway. I also have two hot pink Shishi Gashira along with one October White .Shishi.——————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
