Camellia 'Night Rider'

Camellia 'Night Rider' Details

“Night Rider” is an evergreen shrub that produces exquisite, semi-double, dark red-black flowers. These spectacular blooms appear in winter and spring and are complemented with glossy, dark green foliage. New foliage emerges deep bronze-red and ages to green. It is a relatively compact plant with an upright growth habit and typically reaches 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of cool and humid climates as well as moderate frost once established. “Night Rider” is commonly grown as specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container. For hedging space plants 50 cm apart.
