Brushfields Yellow
- Cream
- Compact
- Anemone form
Brushfields Yellow produces an abundance of blooms on a compact bushy plant. Its habit makes it ideal for a pot and looks good year round. The name might suggest this is yellow; cream would be a far better description. A great performer and recommended.
Debutante
- Pale pink
- Peony form
- Early flowers
Debutante is an old favourite with its full peony form flowers. It always sends out a flower very early in the season to let us know its all about to happen, always welcome. It has light green foliage with serrated edges.
Dr Tinsley
- Soft pink
- Semi-double
- Great for cool climate
Dr Tinsley flowers profusely on a compact upright bush. The medium sized blooms are nearly white in the centre, gradually deepening outwards to mid pink at the edge. There is often some petaloids in the centre along with the stamens and some of the petals have a creped effect.
Elegans
- Pink
- Anemone form
- Large
Elegans has large pink blotched white blooms with a mass of petaloids in the centre. It has a semi weeping habit, especially with the weight of its many flowers, making a good choice where it is viewed from below (maybe planted above a retaining wall or similar).
Elegans Splendour
- Soft pink edged white
- Serrated petals
- Frilly centre
Elegans Splendour has fantastic flowers of musk pink with a white edge. In the centre there is a mass of frilly pink and white petaloids. It also has interesting serrated leaves and a habit that can include horizontal or even weeping branches. Well worth growing.
Emperor of Russia Variegated
- Glowing red
- Peony form
- Hardy
Deep red, marbled white and the occasional yellow stamen set against dark green foliage make for a stunning bloom on Emperor of Russia Variegated. It has strong upright growth and is as tougher than most, a real survivor.
Fran Homeyer
- Formal Double
- Soft pink
A nice formal double Camellia with glossy foliage. Good upright though compact growth.
Great Eastern
- Red
- Semi-double
- Tough
Great Eastern is a wonderful Camellia producing lots of flowers every year. Deep rose red with white stripes or marks on the paler inner petaloids. Vigorous upright growth and toughness make this a good choice.
Guillio Nuccio
- Very large
- Wavy petals
- Almost red
Guillio Nuccio was named after the great Camellia breeder in California of Nuccios Nurseries. Flowers 15cm across and petals that are irregular and wavy make this a spectacular plant. It has prominant yellow stamens in its centre and some upstanding large petaloids. In time will form a large rounded bushwith large pointed deep green leaves.
