Japonica. This beautiful Camellia has large white formal double blooms that simply smother the bush from winter through to the end of spring. Quite a sight in full bloom. Vigorous growth habit. Happiest in semi-shade where the blooms will really shine through. Evergreen.

This Camellia is named after the breeder, Kosaku Sawada, a Japanese-American who owned a nursery called 'Overlook' in the early 1900's. He was highly respected and earned the name he was commonly known by -'Mr Camellia'.
