Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tiny Princess makes up for its lack of size with its profuse show of dainty pale pink, semi-double flowers in mid to late winter. The weight of the buds and blooms can make this somewhat open shrub with an upright habit appear to weep. Use this Camellia hybrid as a specimen or container plant or as an informal medium to large hedge. This is a somewhat older introduction by K. Sawada that is still highly valued today.
