Camellia japonica 'Bob Hope'
A bold and beautiful choice for the cooler months, 'Bob Hope' produces large, semi-double to double blooms in deep velvety red, highlighted by golden yellow stamens. Flowering from late winter into early spring, its 8–12cm blooms create a dramatic display when many other plants are dormant.
This variety prefers a sheltered position with morning sun or part shade and thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Regular watering and a feed in early spring will promote healthy growth and flowering. Light pruning after blooming helps maintain its shape.
Whether grown as a feature plant, clipped into a hedge, or showcased in a pot, 'Bob Hope' adds year-round elegance and seasonal colour to garden beds, borders, and outdoor living spaces.
Grows to 2.5m H × 1.5m W
