About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia 'Kikusui' is a japonica cultivar. Although the supplied reference text appears mismatched to another cultivar, the name and traditional cultivar usage suggest a Japanese camellia with formal, symmetrical double blooms. The flowers are typically soft pink to blush pink, often paler toward the center, with a refined, layered petal arrangement that gives a neat, elegant appearance. As a Camellia japonica selection, it is likely an evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green foliage and a bushy to upright habit, flowering in the main camellia season from winter into spring.
