Flowers from a Camellia japonica, featuring ‘Hanafuki’ with large, variegated (striped) pink and white cup shaped flowers, and 'Prince Eugene Napoleon' (also known as 'Pope Pius IX'), prized for its cherry-red flowers.
The Camellia's plants are evergreen shrubs, known for their glossy, dark green leaves and prominent winter or early spring blooms.
The flowers of Camellia appear in various forms and colors, including solid crimson red and variegated pink-and-white stripes, often on the same plant.
These plants are commonly used in landscapes, primarily grown for their beauty, or for hedges.
