About this Camellia cultivar
Arajishi is a Japanese camellia cultivar, often encountered in a variegated form as 'Arajishi Variegated'. It is generally classified as Camellia japonica and is known for large, showy double blooms with a full, peony-like appearance. The flowers are typically deep red to crimson, and variegated forms may show irregular white streaking or mottling. Like many japonica cultivars, it is an ornamental evergreen shrub valued for its glossy dark green foliage and formal garden presence. Blooming is typically in the mid-season to late winter or early spring period, and the plant usually develops a bushy to upright habit.
