About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia x lutchuensis 'Minato no Akebono' is a hybrid camellia valued for its graceful, lightly fragrant flowers inherited from C. lutchuensis. It is typically described as bearing soft shell-pink to blush pink blooms with visible yellow stamens, giving the flowers a delicate, luminous appearance. The flowers are usually single to lightly semi-double in effect, and the plant is grown as an elegant evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage. From the reference context, it is a shrub-form camellia with refined blooms and a likely late winter to early spring display, typical of many lutchuensis hybrids.
