'Purple Dawn' Camellia

$0.00

The Purple Dawn Camellia, also known as Camellia japonica is prized for its large, 5 inch, formal double deep pink flowers that look as though they've been painted around the edges and veining with purple. The purple cast appears as the bloom ages. The flower buds open in late winter and continue well in to spring. For those who love bold and uniquely beautiful flowers, Purple Dawn is a must have for the garden. The flowers are perfect for cutting. To enjoy them indoors, display several in a vase or float just one in a bowl of water.
