About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Alba Simplex Variegated' is a variegated form of the classic 'Alba Simplex', an old japonica cultivar valued for its elegant, simple flowers. It bears single blooms with broad white petals irregularly streaked, splashed, or flecked with pink to red variegation, typically surrounding a prominent boss of golden yellow stamens. Like many Camellia japonica cultivars, it is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a neat, bushy habit suited to woodland gardens and sheltered borders. The cultivar is primarily distinguished by its refined single flower form and unstable variegated coloration, which can vary from bloom to bloom.
