R.L. Wheeler Camellia: Bold Blooms, Timeless Beauty

The R.L. Wheeler Camellia is a garden classic that’s impossible to ignore. Its stunning semi-double blooms in delightful, pink-red are the perfect cure for winter doldrums, appearing from late winter to early spring. Combine that with glossy evergreen leaves, and you’ve got a year-round showpiece.

What Makes It Special?

  • Eye-Catching Flowers: Oversized, semi-double blooms with vibrant, deep pink-red petals create a dramatic impact.
  • Evergreen Appeal: Polished, dark-green leaves keep your garden looking lush through every season.
  • Perfect for Partial Shade: Thrives in filtered sunlight, making it ideal for brightening up shaded areas.
  • Versatile Growth: Works wonderfully in containers or as a standout shrub in landscapes.

Care Tips:

Plant your R.L. Wheeler in well-draining, acidic soil and water consistently, especially during its first year. It’s happiest with morning sun and afternoon shade, making it a fantastic choice for sheltered spots.

Bring a burst of color and sophistication to your outdoor space with the R.L. Wheeler Camellia—a true garden classic with a modern flair!
