It is somewhat more restrained in growth than the above and makes a very handsome plant in the landscape. You will definitely like it. Part shade to full sun. This plant came to Clemson U. from the Bureau of Plant Introductions (now a defunct branch of the USDA) when I was a student in the mid 60's. I planted it out in the garden, which is now the South Carolina Botanical Garden. In 1992, the day of the dedication of the gardens as the official botanical garden of South Carolina, Bill Head and I looked until we found it where I had originally planted it hidden away up in the head of the duck pond. It was only about 24\" tall and 3' across.

This is a cultivar of the large-leaf form of tea. My acquisition of this Tea has a real story behind it. Upon my first visit to Japan in 2000, we visited the nursery of Mr. Akari Shibamichi and his brother. We consider him to be a Japanese national treasure because of his knowledge of plants. His nephew is the one who found Sky Pencil Holly in the wild in Japan, and he has the original cuttings growing at his nursery (of which you may see pictures on this site). I saw this incredible cultivar of Tea at the edge of the nursery fields with its extremely large leaves and huge yellow splotches. I asked permission to acquire a few cuttings and he gladly obliged. Some years later a friend, Fred Hooks, accompanied us to Japan for his first visit. When we arrived at Mr. Shibamichi's nursery, I told Fred not to go into the office until I could show him this plant. We went to where I knew it was growing and behold, no plant. Upon looking around, I found a stump where it had been planted. Mr. Shibamichi had cut it down and thrown it away. Someone had told me sometime before that if you see a plant in Japan, you had better buy it then, because you may never see it again. Sure enough, this is the only place that I had ever seen this cultivar, but thankfully, my cuttings rooted and we are able to offer it for sale for the first time in the U.S. as far as I know. You may see it on other sites, but they acquired it from us. One can see from the pictures the impressive statement that this plant can make in the landscape. When customers see it in the field, they are immediately drawn to it over anything else around. One thing that we noticed about the variegation is that if the plant becomes too shaded, then the variegation is usually lost, but by moving it to a more sunny location, the variegation re-appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZone 7-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nurseries Caroliniana","offers":[{"title":"3 quart","offer_id":6847771443243,"sku":"CAME-SINE-YELL-TEA-03Q","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2602\/3376\/products\/DSC_0224.JPG?v=1513184813"},{"product_id":"camellia-japonica-black-magic","title":"Camellia japonica 'Black Magic'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Magic Camellia\u003c\/strong\u003e. When one first observes this Camellia in flower, the first thought is that this really can't be real.

One flush will have more speckled leaves, with the next flush showing a more defined marginal variegation. It has a 2-3\" single red flower with yellow stamens. Because of its heavy variegation, it is a slow grower, so one should not depend on it to make a very large plant. The Japanese cultivar name of 'Koshi-no-Fubuki' roughly means, \"a snowstorm in Niigata Prefecture.\" Our good friend in Japan, Makiko Kobayashi, helped me with the translation. Give this cultivar the typical Camellia environment of high filtered shade with good drainage. One of the worst maladies for a Camellia is for a gardener to plant them too deeply, particularly in a heavy soils.

I showed it to many Camellia growers and hobbyists and the closest that they could come up with was 'Tama Americana.' But I sent pictures to David Parks of Camellia Forest Nursery and here is David's reply: \"I agree that your Japanese plant looks a lot like 'Tama Americana' but 'Tama Americana' does not have petaloids.\" So David came to the conclusion that it is something that is not in the trade here in the U.S., so I have given it the cultivar name of 'Tama Nouveau'. We will stay with this name until we find otherwise. So if anyone out there has anything to add to the discussion, please let me know.

A friend of mine who is a Camellia fancier expressed that this is the prettiest Camellia that he has ever seen. The leaves are wavy and heavily serrated, somewhat resembling 'Holly Bright'. The flowers are a semi-double to double brilliant red, with many flowers showing a somewhat formal look with bright yellow stamens.

Later other specimens were found on the Chinese mainland. It was named for the then British governor of Hong Kong, Sir Alexander Grantham. When one first sees this plant in flower, one becomes enamored with the huge single white flowers with bright yellow stamens. The flower buds are particularly interesting. They have papery brown bud scales which give the appearance of a dead bud, but when the flower opens, one is easily dissuaded of this notion. Someone even told me a while back that when their plant set flower buds for the first time, that they thought that they were all dead. So they removed them from their plant, later to find that this was natural. I am classing it as a zone 7b-10 plant. The only time that we have seen cold damage in Augusta was in the mid-80 freezes when we reached zero degrees F or slightly below. Many plants were killed back, but then they re-sprouted. When planting in the colder areas of its tolerance, I would suggest giving it some protection from northwestern winds. The leaves have a distinct venation as well. Often when customers first visit our nursery and have never seen then selection in flower, the first comment upon entering is, \"What is that huge white Camellia?\" I was originally told that it had to be grafted, but this isn't true. Ours are on their own roots, and once in the ground grow quite rapidly. My original plant was shared with me by Mr. Walter Wilson of Augusta, GA. who was one of the original founders of the American Camellia Society. And this plant now is 12 ft. or more in height.

Frankly, I almost had a wreck. It was in the garden of one of our best customers, and she had purchased the plant from us a few years before. This incredible selection is a Camellia Forest introduction in 1995, and they report that it is a \"chance seedling of an unnamed \u003cem\u003eC. reticulata\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eC. fraterna\u003c\/em\u003e.\" It's vibrant crimson-pink 2.5-3 inch flowers are produced in such profusion that it \"rivals any azalea in full bloom.\" Here in zone 8 it starts to flower from late January to late March. It has a narrow tight upright growth habit, which lends itself to a hedge or screen planting. It will totally dominate the landscape when in flower, and it has the heaviest bloom-set when sited in more sun. I promise you will be totally enthralled with this plant. As with all Camellias, give it good drainage with adequate fertility and moisture and plant it shallowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZones 7-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nurseries Caroliniana","offers":[{"title":"1 quart","offer_id":41756848717887,"sku":"CAME-CRIM-CAND-01Q","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2602\/3376\/files\/CamelliaCrimsonCandles22025_4.jpg?v=1748960729"},{"product_id":"camellia-sasanqua-hinode-gumo","title":"Camellia sasanqua 'Hinode-gumo'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHinode-gumo Sasanqua.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCamellia sasanqua\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a tall upright semi-double white flowered cultivar with edges of its\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epetals flushed in pink and the cultivar name means \"Sunrise Cloud\".
