About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia 'David Feathers' is an ornamental camellia cultivar grown for its showy blooms. Based on the available context, it is most likely a Camellia japonica cultivar, a species widely represented in historic and collector plantings. The flower appears to be a formal to fully double type with a neatly layered petal arrangement and a rich red coloration. As with many japonica cultivars seen in major camellia collections, it is likely a mid-season bloomer, flowering in the main camellia season from late winter into early spring. The plant is expected to have the glossy evergreen foliage and dense shrubby habit typical of japonica camellias.
