Camellia japonica 'Bob Hope'

Stunning semi-double, deep red flowers with ruffled petals cover this upright shrub in late winter; lustrous, oval, evergreen leaves persist all year; provide rich, acidic, moist, well-drained soil; a prized variety for milder regions

Bob Hope Camellia is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
