‘Kramer's Supreme’ is a japonica prized for something rare in camellias: genuine fragrance. Large, deep crimson flowers in full peony form open in late winter on a vigorous, upright plant.

Japonicas need morning sun or high afternoon shade — they're less sun-tolerant than sasanquas. Site it in acidic, well-drained soil near a path or seating area — close enough that you catch the scent on a mild winter day.
