Description
An evergreen shrub with a dense, bushy and upright habit, Camellia Botanyuki is a variety with very small cream-white flowers with salmon undertones, and shiny dark green foliage.
Of medium size, Camellia Botanyuki grows to around 1m (3ft) in both height and width. Its semi-double peony-shaped flowers have a diameter of 8cm and are composed of 13 to 20 petals. The floral buds are peachy pink, turning cream-white with salmon undertones. The flowering period is quite early, from February to April. Its leaves are dark green and shiny, of ovoid shape, rigid and alternate on short petioles. The lamina is elliptical and oblong, measuring from 5 to 12cm (2 to 5in) in length and from 2.5 to 6cm (2.4in) in width. The undersides of the leaves are pale green with brown spots.
Hardy down to -15°C, Camellia Botanyuki thrives in a light, humus-rich soil, preferably acidic. Pure ericaceous soil is not recommended for it, but adding leaf compost will be greatly appreciated. Avoid poorly drained areas and make sure the soil is limestone-free. In mild and humid climates it can tolerate all exposures; in very sunny and dry climates it is best to plant it in partial shade or dappled shade. Camellia Botanyuki appreciates sheltered locations away from strong winds and spring frosts. Planting it at the base of a wall or fence usually yields good results. To keep the soil moist and protect the roots from excessive heat, it is advisable to apply a layer of mulch around the base of the bush.
To keep it company, plant in a bed alongside other acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas or viburnums. Or else as a standalone specimen on a lawn, in a pot on the terrace, or in the shade of large trees. Planting euphorbias or hellebores at the base of camellias will be appreciated in winter.
The name Camellia was given to the plant in 1735 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, in honour of Georg Josef Kamel (Latinized as "Camellus"), an apothecary in the service of the Jesuits in the Philippines in the late 17th century. This Camellia is a hybrid resulting from a Japanese creation by Susumu Ishizawa in 1958.

Planting and care
Camellia Botanyuki can be placed in a fairly shady spot, sheltered from cold and drying winds. It can be grown in full sun, but the roots must stay cool. Plant in moist, humus-rich, acidic, and well-drained soil. Do not plant the bush too deeply; the top of the root ball should be covered with 3 cm (1.2 in) of soil. In winter cover it with a 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in) thick mulch made of leaf compost and crushed bark. Beware of late frosts that can damage the flowers and buds. Water during dry periods to prevent the bush dropping its flower buds. It is recommended to plant camellias in the autumn to promote good rooting and better flowering from the first year. Possible diseases include chlorosis caused by excessive limestone, brown spots caused by burns on south-facing leaves, sooty mould, scale insects, and weevils.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
