Description

An evergreen Camellia with dark red, double flowers in early spring and impressive waxy foliage throughout the year. 

‘Femme Fatale’ boasts rich bronze foliage when young, which matures into bronze-tinged red leaves with a waxy and classy look. Be bowled away by the beautiful red flowers that emerge from February to April with overlapping petals.

This Camellia is perfect for container or pot planting, or for placing alongside other varieties in a mixed border or bed.

What’s more, this fully hardy shrub does not require hours of pruning and maintenance to retain a beautiful look – ideal for beginner gardeners or those with little time to spare.

Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, ready for planting.

Top Tips
Be sure to deadhead Camellias when the flowers appear to start fading. This will not boost flowering the following growing season, but will avoid an unsightly browning flower from ruining your display.
Care Information
  • For best results, plant in moist and well-drained, neutral, or acidic soil in a space that is partially shaded, with some shelter from chilling winds. 
  • Plant in autumn when the soil is still warm. This will help roots to establish before the harsh winter conditions set in. 
  • When planting multiple Camellia, space at least 3-5m apart to allow ample room to establish. 
  • Prior to planting, prepare the ground by clearing away any weeds, where necessary, and digging over the area to prime for planting.

Watering 

  • Camellias should be watered regularly when newly planted, particularly for the first 18 months or so.
  • Keep the soil moist, checking if the soil is dry at a depth of roughly 10cm. If this soil is dry, then water the plant well.
