Qianlixiang is an artificially bred horticultural variety, born purely for ornament, with no distribution in the wild. It is very robust in nature and very easy to cultivate, manageable in a flower pot with a 20 cm diameter, and it also performs well in northern regions. Ordinary camellia varieties are difficult to grow in the north, but Qianlixiang has strong adaptability and strong cold tolerance, making it the top choice for northern flower enthusiasts starting out with camellias.

Qianlixiang is a woody plant with fast growth and tolerance to pruning, and can be made into a bonsai tree to place in the living room, on the balcony, at the entrance and so on, taking its ornamental value up another level.
