    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A great new selection by Camellia Forest Nursery in NC for its extra large 2" flowers of rich yellow 5 petaled single blooms in profusion in early spring and on and off throughout the summer. The bright green, zig-zaggy stems are attractive and unusual in the dull grey days of winter. Medium to fast grower. Happiest in part shade.

    This is very like 'Golden Guinea' but has a deeper yellow flower on a very distinctive plant.

    A repeat bloomer with overlapping petals on 5' branches. 'Honshu' has the largest flowers of any Kerria cultivar.
