It is a natural variety of C. japonica found growing in wild. It has the classical dark and shiny foliage of this species, but has open, single, medium sized flowers with 5+ uniform red petals with white margins. The pink stamens and yellow anthers are shown in the center. It is said to be super fertile, and produces a large amount of viable seeds if crossed with other species.
