$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Camellia × williamsii ‘Night Rider’ is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub with small, glossy leaves that emerge red before maturing to deep green. Along its branches, miniature single to semi-double flowers open in black-red tones with yellow centers. Blooming from late winter into late spring, often in March and April, it adds rich color to shaded borders and containers.

Bred in New Zealand by Os Blumhardt, ‘Night Rider’ is a hybrid between Camellia x ‘Ruby Bells’ and Camellia japonica ‘Kuro-tsubaki’, introduced around 1980. Its upright habit, tinted new growth, and long blooming season suit it to woodland gardens or a spot near a path where its dusky flowers can be enjoyed at close range.
