About this Camellia cultivar
Imbricata Rubra is an old camellia japonica cultivar known for its richly petaled, imbricated double blooms in a deep red to crimson shade.

It is grown as an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and is commonly used as a specimen or flowering shrub in mild temperate gardens.
