Camellia saluenensis 'Trewithen Red'.
A dark form of the species C. saluenensis which was introduced by George Forrest, from Yunnan China, in 1918. Named for many a year here at Trewithen as C. saluenensis 'Dark form' the name 'Trewithen Red' was first used in the 1973-1974 Southdown nurseries catalogue (now the world famous Burncoose nurseries)
In flower from December last year and just looking stunning against the red brick wall of the summer house.
