Camellia japonica ‘Black Tie’ is a dramatic and elegant evergreen shrub admired for its deep, velvety red blooms. The flowers are formal double in form, with perfectly layered petals that create a full, rounded shape. Their rich, near-black red colouring gives the plant its striking name and adds a bold, sophisticated touch to winter and early spring gardens. The foliage is glossy, dark green, and dense, providing a beautiful year-round backdrop that enhances the intensity of the blooms. ‘Black Tie’ has an upright, bushy growth habit and can reach around 2–3 metres tall, making it ideal as a feature plant, hedge, or for large containers. Like other camellias, it prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and grows best in a partly shaded position protected from harsh afternoon sun and strong winds. Regular watering during dry periods and mulching around the base will help maintain healthy growth and encourage abundant flowering. With its luxurious dark flowers and refined form, Camellia ‘Black Tie’ brings timeless beauty and elegance to any garden setting. 20cm pot Price $35 Orders are accepted with a minimum of four plants.
