Camellia japonica 'Brushfields Yellow'

Common Name: Camellia 'Brushfield's Yellow'

Description: Camellia japonica 'Brushfield's Yellow' is an evergreen shrub celebrated for its exquisite anemone-form double flowers. The blooms feature creamy-white outer petals encircling a central mass of pale yellow, ruffled petals, creating a striking contrast against the dark, glossy green foliage. Flowering from mid-autumn through early spring, this camellia brings extended seasonal interest to gardens. In Melbourne's climate, 'Brushfield's Yellow' thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring a sheltered position away from early morning sun and cold, dry winds. It flourishes in well-drained, acidic soils enriched with organic matter. This versatile shrub is ideal for use as a specimen plant, informal hedge, or in woodland garden settings. Regular mulching and protection from harsh conditions will promote optimal growth and flowering.
