Yae-wabisuke

Yae-wabisuke is a Japanese camellia cultivar in the Wabisuke group, a class traditionally associated with small to medium, refined flowers and an elegant tea-garden character. The name suggests a double-flowered or extra-petaled Wabisuke form ('yae'). Based on the cultivar name and Wabisuke lineage, it is most reasonably classified within Camellia japonica or a japonica-associated Japanese garden camellia tradition. Flowers are typically modest rather than fully formal, often in soft pink to rose-pink tones with a decorative semi-double to peony-like presentation. As a Wabisuke-type camellia, it is likely valued for understated beauty, early flowering, and a compact, bushy habit suitable for traditional gardens.
