The most common sport of 'Kozan'. Very popular for bonsai. 'Nikko' has identical plant characteristics to 'Kozan', but it has more colourful and variable flowers.
The elegance of a good 'Nikko' with flower colours ranging from pale pink to darker pink flowers and gently variegated flowers, is almost unmatched.
