About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia 'Elegans Champagne' is an Elegantissima-type ornamental camellia cultivar grown for its refined pale blooms and formal garden value. It is most likely a Camellia japonica selection, consistent with the long-established 'Elegans' group. The flowers are typically soft champagne white to blush cream, full and lush in appearance, often with petaloids giving a peony to anemone-like center. It is valued for its elegant pastel coloring, glossy evergreen foliage, and use as a specimen, hedge, or woodland shrub. As with many japonica cultivars, it is inferred to bloom from mid-season onward and to form a dense, bushy evergreen shrub.
