We can see from Tiziano’s face how proud he is of these Camellias!

Black Lace is a compact evergreen shrub of upright growth, with dark green leaves and deep blackish-red, formal double flowers from early spring.

This beautiful camellia with its truly eye-catching red flower is a reticulata hybrid and was developed in the 1970s as a cross between Camellia Williamsii ‘Donation’ and Camellia Reticulata ‘Dataohong’. It has a neat compact growth habit and is generally very free-flowering.
