Noteworthy Characteristics
Kramers Supreme produces an abundance of fully double, peony form, turkey-red blooms that have a sweet scent, which is rarely found in C. japonica culitvars. It has a long flowering season lasting for months during a time when we need color in the landscape the most; usually beginning sometime during mid to late winter and continuing well into spring.
Uses
Kramers Supreme is a larger growing camellia that is useful to create colorful, evergreen hedges or screens. It can also be "limbed up" to form an attractive, small, evergreen tree that can be useful as a focal point specimen. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a large, open wall.
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. Your new camellia should not need regular watering after the first year unless there are extended periods of dry weather during summer. Camellias do best in partial shade or filtered sun. Avoid direct sun in the afternoon.
