About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Tricolor Siebold' is an old ornamental camellia cultivar, traditionally associated with the classic japonica group. As its name suggests, it is valued for multicolored blooms, typically showing a blend of pink, red, and white tones or irregular variegation among these colors. The flowers are usually full and decorative, giving the plant a showy formal appearance in the garden. Like many Camellia japonica cultivars, it is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a dense, bushy habit, prized for late winter to spring flowering and use as a specimen, hedge, or woodland garden plant.
