Amazingly beautiful and compact, award-winning Camellia japonica ‘Hagoromo’ features medium-sized, semi-double blossoms, up to 4 in. wide (10 cm), with pale, blush pink petals that are narrow and elegantly recurving. The flowers are abundantly produced over several months from mid to late season (January to May in the Northern Hemisphere; June to October in the Southern Hemisphere), in such profusion that this camellia becomes one of the glories of the garden when in full bloom. Forming a neat, tidy bush, the lustrous foliage of glossy, narrow, twisted, dark green leaves is evergreen and very ornamental year round.
Camellia japonica is the pre-eminent species of the genus and counts over 30 000 cultivars in a wide array of flower forms and colors. The blooms can reach 5 in. across (12 cm) and create a gorgeous floral display from late winter to spring. They range in color from pure white to soft pink to dark red and may be single, semi-double, double, formal double, or full peony form. Slow grower, this broadleaved, evergreen shrub may grow up to 25 feet (7.5 m), but more often to 6-12 feet (180-360 cm) with a spread of 6-10 feet (180-300 cm). Its shapely habit, handsome, glossy foliage, and fabulous flowers have attracted gardeners for hundreds of years in Asia. Long-lived, some Japanese camellias, around the emperor’s palace in Japan, are known to be more than 500 years old. Unfortunately, Japanese camellias are not always cold-hardy (USDA Hardiness Zone 7 – 9).
