Camellia Greensboro Red
Camellia Greensboro Red is a beloved fall-blooming camellia that has earned its place in Southern gardens for generations — a reliable, cold-hardy performer that delivers rich, deep red flowers at a time of year when color is most welcome. Its semi-double blooms are a warm, saturated red that stands out beautifully against the glossy, deep green evergreen foliage, creating a striking combination from fall through early winter.
As a sasanqua-type camellia, Greensboro Red is more adaptable than many camellias — tolerating more sun, handling drier conditions once established, and proving hardier in colder winters. It grows into a naturally upright, well-branched shrub that works equally well as a specimen, a hedge, or a foundation planting. Plant it where you can enjoy the blooms up close during the quieter months of the garden year.
