Benten Shiratama Camellia. This Japanese variegated leaf form of Camellia japonica has a refined greenish cream-yellow margin on each leaf. The flower is a simple single white very similar to 'Bonten'. It is really quite vigorous and has the typical requirements of any other Camellia japonica in the landscape. The picture is courtesy of Michael Chelednik taken at the JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, NC.
Zones 7-9.
