Camellia Coronation - known?
Does anyone know whether the Coronation Camellia is obtainable in the
UK please? Or, indeed, any information about the cultivar? I had this from a Garden centre/nursery 30 years ago, but regretably lost it in a prolonged sharp frost whilst it was still in the pot. It was a splendid large white double peony. Previous enquiries of camellia growers indicate that it was very difficult to propogate. TIA |

TIA It's a camellia japonica variety, one of the parents of c. x Howard Asper, (the other being c. reticulata Lionhead), but other than that, nothing. Plantfinder doesn't bring it up. You might try contacting James Trehane and Sons, in Wimborne, Dorset. They're specialist camellia growers. Don't know if they have a website. Or look at the Gardeners World website * they featured a place in Cornwall that held the National Camelia Collection... http://www.mountedgcumbe.gov.uk/Camellias.htm |
