About this Camellia cultivar

Mathotiana Supreme is a Camellia japonica cultivar closely associated with the classic Mathotiana type, valued for its large, highly formal double blooms and refined, symmetrical appearance. It is typically described as producing rich red flowers with a smooth, imbricated petal arrangement that gives a polished, sculptural look. As a japonica cultivar, it is generally an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a dense ornamental habit, suited to woodland gardens and mild-temperate landscapes. The name and reference context suggest it is a selected improved form of Mathotiana, grown primarily for its showy late-winter to spring floral display.
