Camellia ‘Dr Burnside’ is a classic, high-impact variety celebrated for its rich, velvety red blooms and beautifully formal flower shape. The flowers are typically double to semi-double, with neatly arranged petals that create a full, rounded appearance—bringing a sense of depth and luxury to the winter garden.
Flowering from mid to late season (late winter into early spring), ‘Dr Burnside’ delivers a strong splash of colour just when gardens need it most. Its bold red tones contrast strikingly against the glossy, dark green evergreen foliage, making it a standout feature plant. This variety forms a dense, upright shrub, ideal for structure, privacy, or as part of a formal planting scheme. |
Key features:
Thrives in a sheltered, part-shade position, protected from strong winds and hot afternoon sun. Prefers acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep soil consistently moist during dry periods and apply mulch to retain moisture. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain shape and encourage dense growth.
Perfect for feature planting, hedging, or screening, Camellia ‘Dr Burnside’ is a reliable, timeless choice for adding bold winter colour and evergreen structure to the garden.
