Description
A rare and hard to find jewel, 'Buttermint' is one of the prettiest Camellias on the market today. This wonderful winter flowering hybrid Camellia blooms in winter to early spring producing an abundance of lightly mint-scented double flowers ranging from white with glowing soft yellow centers to soft yellow all over. The flowers stand out beautifully against the glossy dark green leaves. Growing only 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, its smaller size is perfect for tight spaces where larger growing camellias won't fit. If you are searching for a truly special Camellia for your collection, Buttermint is a superb candidate. The flowers are excellent for cutting and use in indoor floral arrangements or float one in a bowl of water.
