Camellia japonica 'Femme Fatale' - nagy dupla virágok, nagyon színes lomb
Camellia japonica 'Femme Fatale' - probably one of the most spectacular varieties of Camellia japonica. The flowers are large, double, and the new leaves are red, later becoming two-toned (green - dark) as they mature, and finally fully green - which makes the plant itself fascinating even without flowers.
'Femme Fatale' is a compact camellia, reaching a height of about 150 cm.
The camellia is a wonderful plant that delights us with its incredible flowers. The plant grows as a shrub and is suitable both for indoor spaces and for terraces or gardens. It blooms abundantly for 4-6 months a year (depending on care and microclimate).
In Asia, the camellia holds special importance, being popularly called the "tea plant" and considered a symbol of the samurai.
