The Camellia produces flowers up to 5 in (12.7 cm) wide with yellow centers and rounded overlapping petals, much like a rose. The flowers are prized, but so are the glossy leaves that stay a deep, shiny green all year. It is a slow grower, but eventually will reach up to 20 ft (6.1 m) tall. Camellias flower from late winter to early spring. Over 3,000 varieties, cultivars and hybrids of Camellia japonica are cultivated. A lovely one is 'Adolphe Audusson', whose deep red flowers are more numerous and appear earlier than other types. White 'Alba Simplex' is another favorite choice, and 'Contessa Lavinea' is pale pink with dark pink splashes and dark green leaves. An open, upright, cultivar called 'Rubra' is pictured. Location
