About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Nuccio's Carousel' is a cultivar introduced in 1988 by Nuccio's Nurseries of Altadena, California. It bears medium- to large-sized semi-double flowers in a soft pink shade, with deeper pink coloration toward the petal edges, giving the bloom a gently shaded and refined appearance. The plant was documented in bloom in early February, suggesting a mid-season flowering period typical of many Camellia japonica cultivars. Like other japonicas, it is expected to have glossy evergreen foliage and a dense shrub habit suitable for ornamental garden use.
