Full Description:

The White Camellia (Camellia japonica) is a classic and elegant flowering shrub known for its large, pristine white blooms with delicate petals. Celebrated for its ornamental beauty, the flowers contrast beautifully against glossy, dark green foliage. Ideal for gardens, patios, or as a potted specimen, White Camellia adds a touch of sophistication to any landscape. Beyond its beauty, some traditional uses suggest the leaves may have mild medicinal properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
