Village Pump Edition 135 (Apr - May 2018)

Camellia japonica ‘Brushfield’s Yellow’ – have anemone form, double flowers which are creamy white
with a light-yellow centre during January to April. It is an upright evergreen shrub the one pictured
is grown as a standard which will grow up to 2m. Prune immediately after flowering and keep
watered in the summer to ensure plenty of flowers for the following year.
Camellia x williamsii ‘Debbie’ – produces magnificent large blooms from February to April. The
williamsii varieties shed their flowers as they fade and have smaller leaves so are generally better
able to cope with more exposed positions. These hybrids also flower early and over a long period
even in areas with low light intensity such as the north of Britain. Maximum height 1.8m (6’) spread
1.2m (4’).
Camellia ‘Lady Vansittart’ – produces unusual white striped and spotted rose pink, semi-double
flowers with wavy petals from February and continuing until April. Maximum height 1.2 – 1.5m (4-
5’).
Camellia ‘Desire’ – has a vigorous, upright habit and formal double flowers up to 10cm across which
are white to pale pink with a deeper pink edge. Maximum height 2.5-4m (8’-13’) x spread 1.5-2.5m
(5’-7’).
