Camellia
Camellia japonica
A formal, symmetrical bloom set against glossy evergreen leaves — refined elegance for cool-season design.
The camellia is quiet perfection. Its rounded, symmetrical layers of petals sit against deep green, waxy foliage, giving arrangements a formal, polished look even in the depths of winter when little else is blooming. It ranges from crisp singles to full, rose-like doubles.
The blooms and their handsome leaves are equally prized, and the flower carries an old, romantic association with devoted admiration.
What Camellia means
Devotion, admiration, and refined perfection — a flower for expressing deep and steadfast regard.
Care tips
Handle the blooms gently, as they bruise, and keep them cool; their glossy foliage is a bonus in mixed designs.
