About this Camellia cultivar
St. Andrew is an old camellia cultivar, most likely a Camellia japonica, associated with the historic nineteenth-century camellia collections grown in conservatories and greenhouses. In the absence of a direct cultivar image here, it is best interpreted as a classic formal garden camellia of the type widely exhibited during the camellia craze. It is likely valued for its ornamental, symmetrical blooms, evergreen foliage, and refined shrub habit typical of older japonica cultivars.
