Jordan's Pride Red Japanese Camellia
Camellia japonica 'Benibotan'
This camellia is a vintage, vigorous, upright evergreen shrub dating to the late 19th century. 'Benibotan' produces solid red/deep pink, peony-form blooms that brighten the garden from late winter into early spring. The lush flowers stand out beautifully against glossy, dark green evergreen foliage. With its upright, refined habit and timeless beauty, this camellia is perfect for woodland gardens, foundation plantings, and shaded borders where winter color is especially appreciated.

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. I was tired of paying an arm and a leg for plants at the big box store and saw an opportunity to save people time and money while also delivering straight to their door. So, here we are in 2023. Officially up and running with an amazing team, more plants, and a desire to provide you with better plants at better prices!
