Adeyaka, which in Japanese Means “Fascinating,” and that is very accurate. This fascinating Camellia has a heavy bud-set which opens into a small to medium, currant red flowers. The blooms are bell shape like a hibiscus and appear in mid-season. This upright, dense plant with narrow, dark green leaves first bloomed in 1968 and was introduced by Dr. Parks.
April Tryst has an excellent upright habit, a heavy bud set, and will grow at a medium rate. The bright red anemone flower with a hint of white on the center petals will bloom for an extended period in the middle of the season. This hardy flower can withstand freezing weather that usually damages other varieties. Another great introductions from Dr. Parks.
Yuletide is a great as a small hedge due to its compact, upright habit. It is one of our favorite Camellias because the bloom coincides with the Christmas season. The glowing red bloom with bight yellow stamen appear in great profusion over a long period, often into spring.
