About this Camellia cultivar
Fukutama is a traditional Japanese camellia cultivar, most likely of Camellia japonica, grown as an ornamental flowering shrub. Based on the cultivar name and Japanese context, it is likely an older garden selection valued for showy formal blooms and glossy evergreen foliage. The flowers are typically seen as rich red to deep pink-red and neatly petaled, giving the plant a refined, classic camellia appearance. It is used in gardens for winter to spring color and as an evergreen specimen or foundation shrub.
