Camellia japonica, commonly known as the Japanese camellia, is a popular evergreen shrub or small tree, renowned for its stunning flowers. Typically growing 3 to 6 meters tall, it features glossy, dark green leaves and produces large, showy blossoms in shades of white, pink, red, or even striped. The flowers bloom from late winter to early spring, attracting pollinators like bees. Preferring acidic, well-drained soils and partial shade, it thrives in milder climates. Often used as an ornamental plant in gardens and landscapes, Camellia japonica is cherished for its beauty, elegance, and ability to brighten winter gardens.
