Our Black Lace are wonderfully bushy and bursting in buds with flowers emerging in time for Christmas. The flowers of a Black Lace are a formal double of glorious deep red amongst glossy dark evergreen leaves giving much pleasure during the darker months.

Plant in a light or dapple shade position with some protection from the frost or cold winds. Camellias prefer an acid, humas rich soil and appreciate the occasional mulch. Once established they require little additional care and continue to give much pleasure with their glorious flowers for years to come. Generally flowering in March and April.
