About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia japonica 'Bonomiana' is an old Japanese camellia cultivar valued for its very large, elegant double blooms. The flowers are typically peony-form to irregular double, white to blush white and often delicately striped, flecked, or edged with pink to rose-red, giving each bloom a distinctive variegated appearance. It is an ornamental evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a dense, bushy habit, flowering from late winter into spring. This cultivar is especially admired for its refined, heirloom character and richly textured blooms.
