Camellia Dixie Knight Supreme

Camellia Dixie Knight Supreme Details

Camellia japonica Dixie Knight Supreme is an evergreen shrub that produces masses of large and showy, deep red, double flowers through winter and spring. These spectacular blooms are complemented nicely with the glossy, dark green foliage. It is a relatively compact plant with an upright growth habit and typically reaches 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of cool and humid climates as well as moderate frost once established. Camellia Dixie Knight Supreme is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container. For hedging space plants 60 cm apart.
