Camellia sasanqua 'Fuiri-tsukimi-guruma'

Camellia sasanqua 'Fuiri-tsukimi-guruma' is a sasanqua camellia cultivar likely grown both for its elegant flowers and ornamental foliage. Based on the cultivar name and typical characteristics of Camellia sasanqua selections, it bears relatively open, refined blooms with visible yellow stamens and variegated foliage. The flowers appear white to very pale pink, sometimes with a soft blush, and the plant is expected to bloom in the early camellia season, usually autumn to early winter. As a sasanqua camellia, it is typically an evergreen shrub with a graceful, somewhat bushy to upright habit and small, glossy leaves, in this case likely edged or marked with cream or yellow variegation. It is valued for delicate seasonal display, light fragrance typical of many sasanquas, and garden usefulness as a specimen or hedge plant.
