About this Camellia cultivar
A Japanese Camellia japonica cultivar of the Higo type, 'Hiodoshi' is noted for its striking red flowers with a prominent boss of golden-yellow stamens. The bloom appears open and elegant rather than fully doubled, a hallmark of many Higo camellias. It is valued for its vivid color contrast, ornamental single-form flowers, and refined classic camellia appearance. As a C. japonica cultivar, it is typically an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and an upright to bushy habit, flowering mainly in the mid-season.
