Description
Camellia japonica 'Brushfield's Yellow' is a highly sought-after evergreen flowering shrub, admired for its distinctive blooms featuring creamy white petals and a soft yellow centre. This elegant variety brings a refined and unusual colour combination to the garden during the cooler months.
Flowering from late winter into early spring, the plant produces anemone-style flowers with layers of white outer petals surrounding a cluster of creamy-yellow petaloids. These delicate blooms stand out beautifully against the glossy dark green foliage, providing year-round structure and seasonal interest.
With its upright, bushy growth habit, 'Brushfield's Yellow' is ideal for borders, woodland gardens, shaded planting areas, and patio containers. Its unique colouring makes it a standout feature in ericaceous planting schemes, pairing beautifully with rhododendrons and azaleas.
This camellia is perfect for adding early-season colour, elegance, and structure to the garden, particularly in sheltered, partially shaded locations.
Supplied at 60–80cm in height in a 5L pot, this well-established plant is ready to create an immediate impact.
