Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The perfectly formed, deep cherry red flowers of Kotsuya Nomura are edged in bright white and surround a neatly contrasting boss of yellow stamens. Flowers early to mid season. In the words of Bobby Green this Camellia is exceptionally vigorous and can quickly develop into a courtyard or patio tree. This Green Nurseries introduction is a seedling of Tama-No-Mura but has a double row of petals and was named in honor of the great Japanese baseball pitcher.
