Just Chill Red Tip Camellia

Just Chill Red Tip™ is an evergreen hybrid camellia grown for late-season flowers and contrasting new foliage. Its young leaves emerge burgundy before maturing to glossy, dark green. Ruffled pink flowers open in mid-fall or early winter, depending on the local climate. ## Form and interest The upright shrub reaches about 5–8 feet tall and 5–6 feet wide, according to [Proven Winners](https://c5.provenwinners.com/plants/camellia/just-chill-red-tip-camellia-x). Its flowers extend the display into the cooler months, while the burgundy new growth adds color before the leaves mature. The cultivar denomination is ‘FARROWCJFRF’, and the U.S. plant patent record is PP35,609, issued January 30, 2024. ## Placement Plant in full sun to part sun in moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Proven Winners lists the cultivar for USDA zones 6b–9 and recommends consistent moisture and good drainage. Use it as a flowering shrub in a mixed border, as a container specimen, or in a mass planting where its evergreen structure can frame seasonal color. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist while the plant establishes and through extended dry periods. Avoid waterlogged soil. If pruning is needed, do it in early spring; remove damaged or crossing branches and shape lightly.
