has anyone seen Yume, a sasanqua hybrid

18 years ago

I just got a Yume camellia. It is a hybrid between C. sasanqua Shishigashira and C. yuhsienensis. I had to try this one. The parents are great plants and the catalog description sounded good. It came as a small plant with a single bud. It may not be typical but this was a a single, sasanqua-sized flower with white petals with a strong pink flush. C. yuhsienensis gives it a faint fragrance and a strong notch at the petal tip. It is young but it looks like a winner.

It does sound outstanding. Does it have a low growing habit like Shi-Shi? Who is propagating it commercially? If you can post a photo, that would be great. Will start to keep an eye out for it.

The plant is young but it looks like a bushy habit. Branches are spreading, not upright. I planted it in October. Right now, it is about 18 inches tall and has ten open flowers. I got it from Camellia Forest.
