Combining luminous bright pink blooms, deep green foliage and a compact habit, 'Illumination' is one of the best recent introductions to Camellia growing. Being a japonica hybrid makes it more sun-hardy than regular japonica varieties, and its compact growth means it can be grown in a wider variety of applications. Suitable for specimen planting, low to medium hedges and for containers or garden planting. The flowers will glow particularly well in semi-shaded areas.
