About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Burgundy Queen' is a japonica camellia cultivar noted for its very dark, rich burgundy to maroon blooms, often described in commerce as near-black in tone. Based on the available reference context, it is an ornamental winter-flowering camellia valued for its dramatic, velvety flower color and glossy evergreen foliage. The exact origin and hybridizer are not provided here, but it appears to be grown primarily as a garden and container specimen for cool-season display. The bloom appears full and layered rather than single, giving it a formal, elegant appearance typical of double-flowered japonica selections.
