Gorgeous winter-blooming Kramer's Supreme Camellia (Camellia japonica 'Kramer's Supreme') is a glossy-leafed broad-leaved evergreen shrub with bright scarlet red double blooms and fragrance when you need it most!

Blooming when few other plants are in flower, Kramers Supreme pushes out its double-petalled red blooms for all to see! Gleaming in the shady garden, the red mid-winter to spring blooms just shine! Each voluptuous flower is highlighted by a bright yellow shower of stamen that act as bullseyes for bees and other curious beneficial pollinators. The Peony or Rose-like blooms are accompanied by a wonderful fragrance!

Kramer's Supreme double Camellia is heat and humidity tolerant throughout USDA growing zones 7 to 9 and can reach a lovely 6-9 foot tall size, with a nearly equal spread. You can of course train these broad-leaved evergreens into any size or shape needed, even creating a multi-trunked tree form by 'limbing up' the lower branches.

Planting and Application:

Camellias' long-lasting winter display is a breath of fresh air at a time of year when few other plants are blooming this color in mild-winter climates. For the remainder of the year, you'll enjoy the glossy evergreen foliage as a garden backdrop, screening, and privacy hedge, or as a year-round property definition!

Kramer's Supreme brightens the shaded mixed shrub border and looks incredible in groupings. Or you can create a special specimen or accent planting by situating a solitary shrub in a key location around the landscape. Try anchoring your home's foundation border, or softening a hardscape corner. Go bold and clean off the lower trunk of branching and expose the multi-trunk clump to create a stately tree-form accent!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Camellia does best in partial shade - either morning sun and afternoon shade, or all-day dappled shade. Plant in organically enriched, well-drained soil that has consistent, moderate moisture availability. Appreciating slightly acidic soil and a 3-4 inch layer of pine bark mulch over their root systems, Camellia are best pruned right after they flower. Deer tend to avoid these plants unless desperate. For best results, protect from excessively sunny or windy/exposed sites.

Part Sun/Partial Shade
Regular Moisture Needs & Appreciates Mulch
Any Slightly Acidic Well-Drained Soil
Prune Immediately After Flowering
Seldom Bothered by Deer
