Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An Almost Eden exclusive introduction! Almost Anita produces large to medium sized soft pink, double flowers that are heavily marked, streaked, and striped with bright fuchsia. It is an early flowering Camellia that blooms in December and January. We believe that Anita is likely in its parentage as it shares a similar form and flowering time as well as the flecking. An easily grown and rewarding evergreen shrub. The last image in the group is a comparison of the Anita and Almost Anita.
