Camellia japonica 'Lipstick', Japanese Camellia some summer water and aggressively if given idealBright, deep red flowering camellia with an upright and slightly arching habit. Faster growing than our other favorite red, 'Night Rider', but less compact. Prefers a lightly shaded site with some summer water.
