Camellia ‘Korean Fire’ (Camellia japonica ‘Korean Fire’) is a cold-hardy evergreen shrub known for its vivid, single bright red flowers with striking golden stamens that bloom in late winter to early spring. Originating from Korean seed strains, it offers improved cold tolerance compared to many traditional camellias, making it well-suited for cooler climates. It grows in a dense, upright form with glossy dark green foliage year-round. Best planted in partial shade with acidic, well-drained soil, it benefits from shelter from winter winds. This low-maintenance shrub provides bold color and early-season interest in the garden.
