Column "Camellia" part 5
~Tsubaki-hana-garden~
For many species and cultivars of camellia, the flowering season is around March. However, flowers of some species and cultivars called "early bloomers" start to bloom in September. "Tsubaki-hana-garden," which is applying for ICGE status, is well-known as a garden in which the flowers of Camellia japonica bloom earliest in Japan. Since many "early bloomers" are cultivated in the garden, you can enjoy their flowers from very early in camellia season. You can also enjoy a great view of Mt. Fuji from the top of the hill in this garden. We are very proud of this garden where everyone can appreciate Japanese beauty like camellia japonica and Mt. Fuji.
