Camellia japonica 'Femme Fatale' is a breathtaking ornamental shrub that enchants your garden with its vibrant crimson-red flowers in late winter and spring. These fully double blooms sit against lush, dark green foliage, creating a striking contrast that brightens shaded garden areas. Once the flowers fade, the plant reveals a new layer of beauty as fresh shoots emerge with rich, wine-red foliage, offering colour and texture well into summer.This versatile Camellia delivers a long-lasting display of both floral and foliage interest, perfect for adding drama to borders or container gardens. Its evergreen nature ensures year-round appeal, while its compact growth habit makes it an ideal choice for sheltered, shaded spots where it can thrive and enchant throughout multiple seasons. How to GrowLight: Prefers sheltered, dappled shade; avoid direct harsh sunlight.Temperature: Protect from cold winter winds and strong early morning sun to prevent bud drop.Watering: Keep soil moist but well-drained; use rainwater, when possible, to maintain soil acidity.Feeding: Apply fertiliser for acid-loving plants occasionally during growing season.Humidity: Benefits from mulching in autumn to protect roots during cold months.Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity.
