About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia 'Cherie' is a cultivated camellia grown for its large, showy pink blooms and glossy evergreen foliage. It is generally listed as a Camellia japonica cultivar. The flowers are typically full and ornate, usually described as peony to rose-form-double in appearance, with soft to medium pink petals often showing deeper pink toward the petal edges and occasional lighter tonal variation. It is valued as an ornamental shrub for late winter to spring display and for its dense, attractive habit in gardens and landscapes. Like many japonica camellias, it likely forms a broad evergreen shrub with dark green leathery leaves.
