Camellia 'Kagoshima Benten'

Camellia japonica 'Kagoshima Benten' has red flowers with green and white variegated foliage.  Camellia japonica 'Kagoshima Benten' has stunning, variegated, white margined leaves and is absolutely worth growing simply for its foliage!  Camellia japonica 'Kagoshima Benten' slow growing, but worth the wait and should be planted where you can appreciate the spectacular variegated foliage up close. Camellia japonica 'Kagoshima Benten' is great as a specimen or can be used in mass plantings in shade to part shade.
