Hybrid Miniature. A really special little Camellia that is aptly named. The miniature single flowers are pure white with just a hint of yellow on the anthers. The flowers appear from early spring and look very dainty set against the dark green foliage. The growth habit is slow and low. Evergreen.

'Little Gem' would be perfect for a low hedge in a semi-shaded position or equally as nice as a feature in a container.
