About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia 'Pirate's Gold Variegated' is a variegated form of the cultivar Pirate's Gold, recognized by its golden-yellow flowers irregularly marked or streaked with white. Based on standard camellia naming and American Camellia Society context, it is most likely a Camellia japonica cultivar. The bloom appears double and well-filled, with a formal to rose-form arrangement of petals; formal-double is the best fit among the required categories. Its ornamental appeal comes from the unusual yellow-toned coloration combined with variegation, making it distinctive among camellias. As with many japonica cultivars, it is likely an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a bushy to upright habit, flowering in the main camellia season from winter into early spring.
