Camellia japonica ‘William Bull’

Product Description

Camellia japonica ‘William Bull’ is a popular and elegant evergreen shrub prized for its large, formal double flowers in deep crimson-red. The blooms appear in late winter to early spring, creating a striking contrast against glossy, dark green foliage. This variety is highly valued for formal gardens, shaded borders, woodland settings, patio containers, and hedging, offering long-lasting seasonal interest and a classic, refined look.
