About this Camellia cultivar
A spring-flowering Camellia japonica cultivar in the April Series, valued for its soft blush-pink blooms and improved cold hardiness compared with many traditional japonicas. The flowers are typically formal-double to rose-form-double in appearance, with neatly arranged petals creating a refined, symmetrical bloom. As a japonica, it is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a dense, upright to bushy habit. The name and nursery context indicate it is a late to very-late season bloomer, often flowering in spring.
