About this Camellia cultivar
Okichi is a traditional Japanese camellia cultivar, likely of Camellia japonica origin, associated with older Edo-era camellia selections. It is generally described as an ornamental cultivar valued for its refined bloom and classic garden character. Based on the limited source context and historical naming, it is most reasonably interpreted as a Japanese camellia with a pink-toned formal to rose-form double flower, glossy evergreen foliage, and a dense shrub habit typical of C. japonica cultivars. As with many historic Japanese cultivars, it is grown primarily for late winter to spring floral display.
