About this Camellia cultivar

Kasuga-no-yuki is a white-flowering camellia cultivar that appears to correspond closely to the well-known Camellia sasanqua cultivar 'Mine-no-yuki'. It bears medium-sized, luminous white blooms with a semi-double appearance and prominent yellow stamens, giving the flowers a light, graceful look. As a sasanqua-type camellia, it is likely valued for abundant fall to early winter flowering, glossy evergreen foliage, and a dense, useful garden habit suitable for hedges, screens, or specimen planting.
