Camellia sasanqua 'Crimson King' is an evergreen shrub that produces an abundance of rich, crimson-red flowers with golden stamens at the center.

Originating from Japan, Camellia sasanqua has long been cultivated for its ornamental beauty and ability to thrive in a variety of garden settings. 'Crimson King' is particularly valued for its profuse blooming habit and elegant form, making it well-suited for hedges, specimen plantings, or container displays. Its long flowering season and evergreen nature ensure a continuous presence in the landscape throughout the year.
