- Beautiful creamy-yellow flowers with shiny green foliage
- Resilient evergreen, suited for patios or woodlands
- Needs acidic soil and dappled light
Brushfield's Yellow Camellia is a stunning evergreen shrub, known for its creamy yellow blooms and lush, glossy green foliage, ensuring a spectacular spring display. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance to patio containers, woodland gardens or as part of a vibrant hedge. Flowering from April to May, it can reach a height of 400cm (157in) and a spread of 250cm (98in).
Camellias thrive in moist, well-drained, acid soil and prefer a sheltered, shaded location. If your garden lacks naturally acidic soil, cultivate camellias in patio containers using ericaceous compost mixed with John Innes No 3, positioning them in dappled shade. Regular watering is essential until the plants are well-established. Rainwater is preferable, as tap water's lime content can reduce soil acidity over time. Feed occasionally with a fertiliser designed for acid-loving plants.
Protect from harsh winter winds and strong morning sunlight to prevent bud drop in early spring. An autumn mulch will help safeguard their roots from winter cold. Camellias require minimal pruning, mainly to maintain their desired shape. Lightly trim stems and remove any faded blooms immediately after flowering.
