Camellia 'Ki-Renge' (Golden Lotus) RARE

Camellia x 'Ki-Renge' (Golden Lotus) has  pale yellow, tinged pink, lotus form flowers with green leaves.  Camellia x 'Ki-Renge' (Golden Lotus) is a RARE hybrid Camellia chrysantha x Camellia japonica with beautiful, pale yellow tinged pink, pendulous flowers in the spring and appears to be a very strong, fast growing plant.  We have only grown Camellia x 'Ki-Renge' (Golden Lotus)  in a greenhouse and expect it would be ok outside down to maybe 15 degrees F (guessing) and appears to be one of the more cold hardy yellow hybrids.  Camellia x 'Ki-Renge' (Golden Lotus) is easy to grow in a container and blooms well at a young age, so would be a good plant for a bright sun room in colder climates and would make a stunning statement in warmer gardens.   Camellia x 'Ki-Renge' (Golden Lotus) is great as a specimen or can be used in mass plantings in shade to part shade.  Thanks to Mike Chelednik for use of his photo.
