About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Kalmiaeflora' is a japonica camellia cultivar grown for its unusual small, elegant blooms. The flowers are typically soft pink to shell pink and resemble mountain laurel (Kalmia) blossoms, giving the cultivar its name. Based on its form and cultivar epithet, the blooms appear semi-double with a distinct open center and refined petal arrangement rather than a fully formal double. Like most Camellia japonica cultivars, it is an evergreen ornamental shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a dense garden presence, valued for flowering in the cooler camellia season.
