Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Perfectly formed white flowers whose outer petals are edged in light to dark pink to near red with streaks of lighter white to pink variegation. Tammia is a small flowered Camellia that flowers in mid to late season. It has an upright habit with dense bushy growth. This should be an excellent addition to the winter garden and would be well suited for use as a container plant where the delicate variegation can be enjoyed up close.
