About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Kumasaka Variegated' is a variegated sport or selection of the old japonica cultivar 'Kumasaka'. It is grown for its large, showy double flowers in rich red marked with irregular white variegation, creating a striped, mottled, or splashed effect from bloom to bloom. The flowers are typically full and formal in appearance, and the plant has the glossy evergreen foliage and dense shrubby habit characteristic of Camellia japonica. Like many japonicas, it is valued as a classic late-winter to spring flowering landscape camellia for woodland gardens, foundation plantings, and specimen use.
