У меня большое событие – пришло письмо из Американского Общества Камелий, что они официально зарегистрировали два сорта камелий, которые я вывел, после 20 лет отбора и оценки нескольких сотен сеянцев. Я мечтал быть создателем новых сортов цветов с детства, когда я читал роман Дюма “Черный Тюльпан”, книжку про селекционера георгин […]

The American Camellia Society approved for registration two new Camellia sasanqua cultivars: ‘Silicon Valley’ and ‘Sunnyvale Carnival’ originated by Yuri Panchul. ‘Silicon Valley’ produces rare, for a sasanqua, formal double flowers, and ‘Sunnyvale Carnival’ makes globular loose peony-shaped flower, especially when grown in semi-shade. Both plants tolerate sun much better […]
A new Sasanqua seedling that attracts attention with bright globular shape flowers
My new Camellia sasanqua seedling: Yuri Panchul YP0044, tentative name ‘Sunnyvale Carnival’. It was praised by well-known nurserymen and camellia collectors Tom Nuccio, Daniel Charvet and Brad King.

Backyard Hybridizer An article by Yuri Panchul in American Camellia Yearbook 2017 Growing your own seedlings is an intriguing addition to one’s camellia hobby.

The former King of Red among sasanquas, Camellia x vernalis ‘Yuletide’
Camellia x vernalis ‘Yuletide’. Before ‘Mieko Tanaka’ appeared, ‘Yuletide’ was the closest to true red color cultivar in C. sasanqua group. Originated by Nuccio’s Nurseries, California in 1963. A seedling of ‘Hiryu’.
A new sasanqua seedling with flat formal double pink flower and upright growth habit
A new Camellia sasanqua seedling originated by Yuri Panchul (Yuri Panchul #0138). The flower is pink, formal double, quite flat and relatively small (45-50 mm). The leaves are on smaller side (45×25 mm), the branches are sturdy and the growth habit is upright. A similar cultivar is ‘Chansonette’ but ‘Chansonette’ […]
Camellia sasanqua ‘Midnight Lover’
Camellia sasanqua ‘Midnight Lover’. A new introduction from Camellia Forest Nursery. The color is crimson pink, not true red like in ‘Yuletide’ and ‘Mieko Tanaka’. The flower shape is interestingly asymmetrical. This is a nice plant, but I will probably give it to somebody since 1) I already have both […]
Featured giveaway – ‘Miss Ed’
Camellia sasanqua ‘Miss Ed’ is a very unreliable beauty. Sometimes (like 1 time out of 100) you get a strikingly beautiful flower from this plant, but 99 times out of 100 you don’t. Most ‘Miss Ed’ flowers suffer from a combination of not particularly well-formed petals with deformed stamens. I […]
Featured annual giveaway: ‘Gingetsu Perkins’
I got this plant from Tom Nuccio. Tom told me that he got it from a person named Perkins under the name ‘Gingetsu’. Obviously this plant is not ‘Gingetsu’ because the real ‘Gingetsu’ is a well-known white Camellia sasanqua, from Higo-sazanka group of cultivars, originated in Japanese province of Kumamoto. […]
