Description

» English Description

Wylam, 1955, American Camellia Yearbook, p.27: Nuccio’s Nurseries, Altadena, California purchased a collection of sasanquas that had originally come from Japan. The one received as ‘J#3’ has large irregular flowers of lilac or lavender pink, sometimes show­ing ‘rabbit ears’. The plant has small, dainty leaves and pendulous growth, making it adapt­able for hanging baskets or ground cover. It was given the name Pale Moonlight. See illustration p.323, Hertrich, 1959, Camellias in the Huntington Gardens, vol.III. Synonym: ‘Pale Moon’.
