A variety selected from the Tea Gardens at Camellia Forest Nursery, this cultivar displays significantly larger leaves and more vigorous growth than the original 'Sochi' plants while displaying the same color and similar cold hardiness. This clone can have leaves up to 8 inches long when growing very vigorously. The original plant probably has 25 stems coming from the ground so it develops into a very bushy plant although it can be gangly when young.
