About this Camellia cultivar
Asahi-tsuru is a traditional Japanese camellia cultivar, most likely a Camellia japonica selection. It is an old ornamental cultivar valued for its elegant, formal appearance and classic Japanese garden character. The flowers are typically soft pink to rose-pink and double, with a neatly arranged petal structure suggesting a formal-double bloom form. As with many historic Japanese camellias, it is likely grown as an upright to bushy evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a mid-season flowering period.
