{"product_id":"greensboro-red-camellia","title":"Greensboro Red Camellia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlossy evergreen leaves and full, rose-red blooms that open in the quiet of winter — when almost nothing else in the garden dares to flower.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Greensboro Red Camellia (Camellia japonica 'Greensboro Red') is a broadleaf evergreen shrub prized for its richly colored, formal-looking flowers and its handsome year-round presence. Each bloom is a deep, saturated red set against thick, lustrous dark-green foliage that stays dressed through every season. Flowering from winter into spring, it brings warmth and structure to the garden during the months when color is most welcome and hardest to find. Left to grow naturally it forms an upright, rounded shrub reaching 6 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide — equally at home as a specimen, a tall evergreen hedge, or the anchor of a shaded border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat I love about it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Greensboro Red blooms when the garden needs it most. While everything else is bare and gray, this camellia opens its deep red flowers in winter — a genuinely surprising and welcome sight. The blooms are formal and full, the foliage is polished and evergreen, and the plant is reliably hardy in Zones 7–10 once established. Plant it where you'll see it in winter: beside an entry, along a shaded foundation, as a living privacy screen, or woven into a woodland border under high tree canopy. The long-lasting flowers are also lovely floated in a shallow bowl, bringing a little of the cold-season garden indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Care Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌥️ \u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part shade to full shade — morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep consistently moist; camellias don't tolerate drought well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🧪 \u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5); amend with peat moss or sulfur if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🪴 \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to moderate — needs acidic soil and consistent moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐾 \u003cstrong\u003ePet Safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-toxic to cats and dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prune lightly after bloom in spring; avoid pruning in fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–10 ft tall, 5–6 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter through spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rose-red; formal, full blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy dark green; evergreen year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBloom bold.
