About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Silver Ruffles' is a spring-flowering japonica cultivar grown for its elegant pale blooms with distinctly ruffled petal edges. The flowers are typically white to blush-white with a soft pink suffusion or edging, giving the bloom a refined silvered appearance suggested by the name. Based on the cultivar grouping and visible characteristics associated with ruffled, many-petaled japonica flowers, it is best characterized as a formal to rose-form double type with a neat, layered presentation. Like most Camellia japonica cultivars, it forms an evergreen ornamental shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a bushy to upright habit, valued for late winter to spring display in mild temperate gardens.
