Formal double C. japonica that has rose pink margins on the petals. The base of the petals are white. The petals have an attractive point to them. Very pretty.

The blooms of this Camellia are exquisite; fully double, white-centered blossoms are tinged with an opalescent pink around the edges, reminding you of a pearl. The blooms grace this elegant 6-8' evergreen shrub winter-into-spring. This bush has a neat compact habit and lovely flowers which are beautiful when picked and floated in a bowl of water; a delight.

Perfectly formed, fully double soft pink nearly white at the center and fading to dark orchid pink at the edges. The perfect flowers of this beauty are borne over a fairly long period in mid-late season (February-May). A dense and compact growing Camellia with rich glossy green foliage and an upright to rounded habit. Prefers a humus rich acidic soil and will need moderate moisture until well established.
