The 'Il Tramonto' camellia from Japan is a superb, old variety with sophisticated and elegant flowers. These large flowers, formed like roses, delicately veined, are carmin pink and lightly orange. Their colour is paler between veins. Certain petals can have streaks of pink or pink-white. Mutation of the 'Donckelaeri' (='Masayoshi') variety with bigger and narrower leaves and bigger pink flowers. Distributed by Louis Van Houtte (BE) in 1958.
