DESCRIPTION
Camellia japonica ‘Brushfield’s Yellow’ is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and cream-and-yellow flowers. Blooms are anemone-form to semi-double, with creamy white outer petals around a cushion of primrose yellow petaloids. Flowers appear from late winter into early spring, often into March or April, adding color to shaded garden areas.

Raised in Australia in the 1970s by Keith Brushfield, this cultivar was selected from Camellia japonica seedlings for its yellow-toned center and dependable blooming. It has an upright, compact habit and dense branching, suiting woodland gardens, shaded borders, and spots near paths where its flowers and evergreen foliage can be appreciated up close.
