Camellia Brushfield Yellow is a stunning variety of Camellia and holder of the much coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit that boasts creamy white flowers with a buttercup yellow centre. This beautiful plant is perfect for adding a touch of colour to any garden and is a must-have for any Camellia enthusiast.

This plant is known for its ability to tolerate a wide range of conditions, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. It can grow well in partial shade or dappled sunlight and prefers well-draining, acid soil.

This Camellia is also relatively low maintenance, requiring regular watering and occasional fertilisation with an acid-based fertiliser. Pruning should be done after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches.

In addition to its beautiful flowers it is also known for its lush, green foliage. This plant can grow up to 4 metres tall, making it a great option for privacy hedges or as a standalone specimen plant.

How to care for your Camellia Brushfield Yellow

  1. Plant in well-draining, acid or neutral soil.
  2. Position in partial shade or dappled sunlight. It can tolerate full sun, but will require more frequent watering.
  3. Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. It’s important to not let the soil dry out completely, as this can cause stress to the plant and lead to bud drop.
  4. Fertilise the camellia with an acid-based fertiliser, such as one specifically formulated for camellias or azaleas, in Spring and Summer.
  5. Prune after it has finished flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches.
  6. Protect the plant from frost, which can damage the buds and flowers.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Camellia Brushfield Yellow stays healthy and produces beautiful flowers for many years to come.
