About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia 'Janet Waterhouse' is a late-flowering ornamental camellia cultivar noted for its variable flower form on the same plant. Reference observations indicate that some blooms show visible stamens while others are more fully petalled and appear formal double. The flowers are pink and double to semi-double in effect, making this cultivar distinctive for its variability and attractive late-season display. As with many garden camellias of this type, it is likely an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a bushy habit.
