Description
Named for its snow-white color and exceptional cold tolerance, 'Snow Flurry' is a hybrid Camellia that displays an abundance of beautiful anemone form flowers with a glowing yellow cushion of petaloids at the center surrounded by snow-white outer petals. The flowers begin opening mid-fall and continue into early winter as far North as USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b. The lustrous, deep green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the flowers, which are excellent for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase, or float just one flower in a bowl of water.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 7 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Snow Flurry Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is also especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this Camellia grows, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small evergreen tree that serves well as an accent or focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to white color theme gardens, camellia gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors overwinter for those who live above USDA Zone 6b, where not winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 4 to 4.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
