About this Camellia cultivar

Kocho-shiro-wabisuke is a Japanese camellia cultivar in the Wabisuke group, closely associated with Camellia japonica. The reference indicates a white-flowered 'shiro-wabisuke' type, suggesting a refined, simple bloom typical of Wabisuke camellias. These cultivars are valued for their elegant, modest flowers, often with a tea-camellia aesthetic, and generally bloom from early to mid-season. The plant is likely a compact to upright evergreen shrub with small, glossy dark green leaves and a restrained, graceful habit suited to gardens and container culture.
