About this Camellia cultivar

A variegated form of Camellia japonica 'Carter's Sunburst', shown in reference material as 'Carter's Sunburst Pink Variegated'. It bears large, showy pink blooms irregularly marked with white, creating a sunburst-like variegated effect. The flowers appear fully double and formal to rose-form in presentation, with broad overlapping petals and a refined ornamental appearance. As a japonica camellia, it is typically an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a medium to upright garden habit. The March flowering reference suggests a mid-season bloom period in many climates.
