About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia vernalis 'Dawn' is a cultivar of Camellia × vernalis, the hybrid group derived from Camellia japonica and C. sasanqua. As a vernalis camellia, it is associated with the autumn to early-winter flowering season and typically combines the refined flower form of japonica with the freer, often more compact habit and earlier bloom of sasanqua influence. The cultivar name 'Dawn' suggests a soft, delicate floral presentation; in cultivation it is generally understood as bearing pink flowers with a formal, neatly petaled appearance. Evergreen foliage is expected to be glossy, dark green, and leathery, typical of camellias. It is valued as an ornamental shrub for early seasonal color and garden or landscape use.
