Camellia japonica 'Femme Fatale'

Be enthralled by the delightful large, dark red double flowers of the ‘Femme Fatale’ evergreen Camellia that not only looks beautiful but remains impressive throughout the year.

The headline flowers with scores of overlapping and passionate red petals appear early and upright, from February to April to mark the end of winter and the start of brighter, warmer days.

This bushy plant boasts dark, rich bronze foliage when young, before taking on even darker speckling and eventually settling with a red bronze-tinged colouring and a waxy appearance, offering a certain air of class and luxury.

Perfect for more-or-less any garden, the blooms of this Camellia look outstanding, whether planted as a solo piece in a pot or container, or alongside others in a mixed border or bed, while also usefully remaining smaller than other varieties to be perfect even for dainty spaces.

What’s more, this fully hardy shrub does not require hours upon hours of pruning and maintenance to retain a beautiful look – ideal for beginner gardeners or those with little time to spare.

Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, ready for planting.
