- Key Feature: Alabama Beauty Camellia is known for its stunning rose-red blooms that appear in late fall and continue into early winter, adding vibrant color when little else is in bloom.
- Mature Size Info: This camellia typically reaches a mature height of 12 to 15 feet and a width of 6 to 8 feet.
- Sun Exposure Info: It thrives in partial sun to partial shade, preferring morning sunlight and afternoon protection.
- USDA Growing Zone Info: Alabama Beauty grows best in USDA Hardiness Zones 7 through 9.
- Landscape Use: Ideal for use as a privacy hedge, screen, foundation planting, or as a specimen plant in the landscape.
- Pruning Info: Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches; avoid pruning in late summer or fall.
- Watering Info: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish deep roots; once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture.
