‘J.C. Raulston’ honors one of the South's great plantsmen with rich red blooms in the cold months, carried on a vigorous evergreen shrub with polished dark foliage.

Morning sun or high, bright shade suits it, with protection from hot afternoon light and acidic, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first summers and mulch well. A strong specimen plant, and equally good giving winter color to a shady border.
