The nursery assured me this plant would grow in southern Oklahoma. Did fine through the summer with high shade, but winter came and although it was mulched to the nines, it froze deader than a hammer.

I have not had this plant for very long so I am unable to rate it yet. It was introduced by Kramer Brothers Nursery (California) in 1957.

Makes HUGE red peony shaped flowers. The flowers are also fragrant, which is not a common trait for camellias.

I have had this plant in the ground for about 4 years, and is growing a little slow! But the blooms are awsome and do smell a little! They are big blooms, and i just love it.. It gets a little sun, but that doesnt seem to hurt it, i hope for it to get a little more thicker, i fertalize it alot, i cant wait for it too bloom again, this is a great camellia for anyone, and the color is unreal!
