Description

Camellia x williamsii are a highly regarded set of hybrids that grow to about 5m (16ft) high and are well suited to most gardens. They shed spent flowers, unlike some varieties of C. japonica, and are able to recover themselves in new blooms after periods of severe weather.

This has an arching growth habit, bearing large, glossy leaves and large, anemone to peony-shaped, red-pink flowers, becoming purplish with age.
