About this Camellia cultivar
Black Knight is a non-reticulata hybrid camellia cultivar known for its large, dark red to black-red rose-form-double blooms. Reference sources note a variegated sport, 'Black Knight Variegated', described as black red blotched white with compact, upright growth and medium green foliage; this suggests the standard Black Knight is typically a solid dark red form with the same general flower form and plant habit. It is valued for its bold, formal-looking flowers, average growth rate, and compact upright structure.
