Camellia japonica ‘Roger Hall’

55.00

Description

Bold, elegant, and wonderfully reliable, Camellia ‘Roger Hall’ brings rich colour to the garden from late winter into spring, when it’s most appreciated. The flowers are a striking deep red, beautifully set against glossy, dark green evergreen foliage — giving you year-round structure with a real seasonal show.
It’s an excellent choice for a sheltered border, woodland-style planting, or a large pot near an entrance where the colour can really sing. Like all camellias, it rewards the right conditions: steady moisture, good drainage, and protection from harsh winds and early morning sun in frosty weather.

Caragh Garden Notebook

If you’re planting in a pot, use an ericaceous compost and keep watering consistent — camellias hate drying out. A yearly mulch (leaf mould or composted bark) helps keep roots cool and moisture steady.
