About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Gold Coin', also known in reference material as 'Konkin Gold', is a japonica cultivar noted for its unusual yellow-toned petaloids and prominent golden center. The bloom appears to be an anemone to peony-influenced flower form, with outer guard petals surrounding a dense central mass of smaller petaloids and visible yellow stamens. Flowers are primarily white to very pale blush with a strong golden-yellow center, giving the cultivar its coin-like name. As a Camellia japonica, it is likely an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a bushy to upright habit, flowering in the mid-season typical of many japonicas.
