About this Camellia cultivar
A freely flowering camellia cultivar with large early-season pink blooms and dense, shiny foliage. Reference notes describe it as a hybrid between Camellia reticulata and Camellia saluenensis, combining large flowers with early bloom from its parentage. The plant is reported to prosper in an exposed garden position despite wind, though a young plant was noted as somewhat weak-stemmed and needing support after flowering. Flowers appear clear pink overall, and the plant has a floriferous display with glossy leaves.
