Camellia jap. Nuccios Gem

Camellia japonica ‘Nuccio’s Gem’ is a refined, slow-growing evergreen camellia prized for its pristine white, formal double blooms that open in spring against glossy, deep green foliage.

Ideal as a specimen in borders or large containers with ericaceous compost, it offers year-round structure and a classic, elegant look for courtyards and woodland-style gardens.
