Camellia ‘Simply Red’ is a stunning and modern addition to the sasanqua range, valued for its vibrant floral display and strong, upright growth. This evergreen shrub produces an abundance of pink buds that open into small, attractive deep rose-pink to rich fuchsia-red informal double blooms, creating a bold splash of color.
Flowering from early to mid-season, it delivers long-lasting interest while its dense, glossy green foliage forms a lush backdrop. With its vigorous growth and naturally compact shape, ‘Simply Red’ is ideal for hedging, screening, containers, or as a striking specimen plant in the garden. It is also tolerant of light frost, drought, and coastal conditions once established, making it a highly adaptable choice.
