About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia 'Lady de Saumarez' is an ornamental camellia cultivar, most likely a Camellia japonica selection, grown for its elegant, formal blooms. Based on the cultivar name and typical historic camellia nomenclature, it is probably an older garden cultivar of refined habit. The bloom is inferred to be pink with a double, well-ordered petal arrangement, giving it a classic, symmetrical appearance. As with many japonica cultivars, it is likely an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a bushy to upright habit, flowering from mid-season onward in the camellia season.
