DESCRIPTION
Camellia ‘April Kiss’ is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage carried on a compact, upright framework. Its formal double flowers are deep rose pink to rosy red, with tightly layered petals that form neat rosettes along the branches. Blooming begins in late winter and continues into mid-spring, often peaking in April, creating a long season of soft color in partially shaded garden settings.

Developed in North Carolina, ‘April Kiss’ is part of the cold-hardy April Series introduced by Dr. Clifford Parks at Camellia Forest Nursery. A hybrid of ‘Berenice Boddy’ and ‘Reg Ragland,’ it is known for reliable bud set, extended bloom, and refined evergreen presence throughout the year.
