Camellia japonica 'Drama Girl' | Drama Girl Camellia

DESCRIPTION
Camellia japonica ‘Drama Girl’ is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green leaves that set the stage for abundant semi-double flowers. Each blossom opens in deep salmon-rose to rose-pink tones, often streaked with softer pink highlights and centered with golden stamens. The blooms can reach up to about 6.5 inches across and appear from mid-winter through early to mid-spring, creating months of floral presence in a partially shaded garden.

‘Drama Girl’s’ upright, somewhat open habit combined with pendulous branches gives it subtle movement, while the heavy blooms may bend stems slightly under their weight. The glossy evergreen foliage and a long bloom period make it a good choice for sheltered shrub borders, woodland settings, or a specimen near walkways where its large flowers can be easily enjoyed.
