Camellia transnokoensis is an evergreen shrub that produces masses of single, white flowers. These appear through winter and spring and contrast beautifully with the glossy, green foliage as it grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Camellia transnokoensis is commonly grown as a specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage or 'white' gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
