About this Camellia cultivar
Goshoguruma is a traditional Japanese camellia cultivar, generally classified as Camellia japonica. It is valued for its elegant, formal double bloom form and refined appearance. The flowers are typically soft to medium pink, often showing a neat, symmetrical arrangement of many petals that gives the bloom a sculptured, wheel-like look consistent with its classic Japanese character. Like many older japonica cultivars, it is likely a mid-season bloomer and forms an upright to bushy evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage suitable for ornamental garden use.
