About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia x vernalis 'Asahi-No-Mine' (also recorded in sources as 'Asahi-no-minato') is a vernalis camellia cultivar valued for its autumn to early winter display. As a Camellia x vernalis selection, it typically combines the refined foliage and flowering quality of Japanese camellias with an earlier blooming season. The flowers are generally pink, often softly toned, and appear semi-double with visible central stamens, giving the bloom an open, elegant look rather than a tightly formal one. The plant is usually grown as an evergreen ornamental shrub with glossy dark green leaves and a neat, bushy habit suitable for gardens and woodland-edge plantings.
