Plants that bloom in January in Zone 8 with red flowers

Anna's Red Hellebore

Wine-red outward-facing blooms above silver-marbled foliage. Bred to face the viewer, not the ground, like older hellebores do.

Camellia

Glossy evergreen with rose-like blooms in the depths of winter.

Witch Hazel

Spidery, fragrant blooms on bare branches when nothing else dares.
