Greensboro Red Camellia

The Greensboro Red Camellia is a timeless evergreen shrub known for its large, formal crimson-red blooms that appear in late winter to early spring when little else is flowering. Its deep green, glossy foliage provides year-round interest, while its vibrant flowers offer a bold show.
