Camellia ‘Brushfield’s Yellow’ is one of the most sought-after camellias, admired for its unique colouring and elegant form. Its blooms are a beautiful anemone style, featuring layers of soft white outer petals surrounding a creamy-yellow, petaloid centre—giving the illusion of a true yellow camellia.
Flowering from late winter into early spring, this variety brings light and interest to the garden when little else is in bloom. The contrast between the luminous centre and crisp white petals creates a refined, almost luminous effect in shaded areas. This evergreen shrub has a dense, upright growth habit with glossy, deep green foliage, making it just as valuable for structure and screening as it is for its flowers. |
Key features:
Best planted in a sheltered, part-shade position, protected from harsh afternoon sun and strong winds. Prefers acidic, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering during dry periods and mulching will help maintain even soil moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to shape if required.
Ideal for feature planting, hedging, or large containers, ‘Brushfield’s Yellow’ is a standout choice for gardeners wanting something a little different—offering a rare hint of yellow in the camellia world.
