Vestito Rosso Camellia
Camellia japonica ‘MonBella’
Vestito Rosso Camellia is a distinctive variety valued not only for its beautiful deep red, rose-form double flowers but also for its ornamental foliage. The new spring growth emerges a striking burgundy-red, maturing to a glossy dark green. This provides multi-season interest even when not in bloom. It flowers from late winter into spring and has a spreading, yet full habit. The combination of colorful new growth and classic red blooms makes it a standout in the landscape.
