Camellia japonica ‘Wildfire’ is a vigorous, upright evergreen shrub admired for its bold display of vivid red flowers. It produces large, semi-double blooms up to 10 cm across in early to mid-spring, creating a striking contrast against its glossy, dark green foliage.
With a bushy, upright habit and finely serrated leaves, ‘Wildfire’ is an excellent choice for adding strong seasonal color to partially shaded, sheltered garden spaces. It thrives in acidic, well-drained soil and becomes a standout specimen as it matures.
