Camellia reticulata x japonica ‘Dr Clifford Parks’ is a classic evergreen shrub prized for its large, glossy leaves and striking deep red, peony-form flowers that bloom from late winter into spring. Best planted in part shade with well-drained, slightly acidic soil, it benefits from consistent moisture and light pruning after flowering. It suits formal, woodland, and cottage-style gardens beautifully.

It typically grows to around 2.5m - 4m in height, making it ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant.
