About this Camellia cultivar
Tsuki-no-wa is a classic Japanese camellia cultivar, traditionally classified as Camellia japonica. The name means "moon ring," a reference to its distinctive flower coloring. It is known for elegant blooms that are typically soft pink to blush with a pale to white edge or halo effect, giving the flower a refined bicolored appearance. The flowers are usually semi-double in form, with visible central stamens contributing to a delicate, luminous look. Like many japonica camellias, it is an evergreen shrub valued for glossy dark green foliage and ornamental winter to spring bloom display. Growth is generally upright to bushy, making it well suited for garden specimen planting, woodland borders, and camellia collections.
