Kramer’s Supreme Camellia is a large slow-growing evergreen shrub with a rounded habit.  Its glossy evergreen leaves stay deep green year-round.  Kramer’s Supreme Camellia has large, fragrant, full peony form red flowers with contrasting yellow stamen that bloom from winter into spring attracting butterflies.  Best blooms occur in partial sun and acidic, well-drained soil.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Medium maintenance. Too much water retention can increase susceptibility to fungal diseases, including root rot, black mold, blight, canker, anthracnose, and leaf spots.  Watch for aphids and spider mites.   Yellowing leaves indicate acidity too low. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer. If desired, remove all but one bud from each cluster to increase the size of the flower. Prune immediately after flowering.

LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Screening, Foundation Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.
