Camellia japonica 'Donna Herzilia de Freitas Magalhaes'

Camellia japonica 'Donna Herzilia de Freitas Magalhaes'
When I went to buy this Camellia the grower talked me out of getting it and said it was very temperamental. If the soil was not to its liking it would only produce pink flowers or not flower at all, and it is said to do better in a cool climate with cold winters.The variation in colour of flowers displayed on the show bench was quite marked with the best being of a violet shade. Variegation of petals also shows up on some flowers.
