Camellia lutchuensis var. minutiflora
Weeping bushy shrub with dark green, very small leaves on long pendulous graceful branchlets. The tiny red buds open to masses of tiny white flowers with a deep pink flush. It is delicate in appearance and so pretty. Lovely as a dainty specimen. Hardy. Prefers a sheltered site with good soil, though will tolerate dry conditions.
