Description

» English Description

Thomasville Nursery Catalogue, 1941: This marvellous red camellia has all the good characteristics of the well known Governor Mouton and is a solid red sport of that variety. The foliage is smooth, dull green and sharply pointed. The growth is slender and willowy if grown in the shade but more sturdy if grown in the sun. Blooms mid-season to late. The parent plant is believed to be about 170 years old. See colour plates p.23. Camellias by G.G. Gerbing, 1945, and in Humes, Camellias in America, 1946, p.5. Synonyms: ‘Red Governor Mouton’, ‘Hexagonia Rubra’.
