Description
One of the most unique Camellia hybrids on the market today, Jury’s Yellow is a rare jewel that blooms from late fall through early spring! The fully-double, white flowers have ruffled centers of yellow petaloids standing out magnificently against the dark green leaves. If you are searching for a unique Camellias for your collection, Jury’s Yellow is a wonderful candidate.
Landscape & Garden Uses
A mid-size Camellia with an upright habit of growth to about 8 to 12 feet tall and 5 to 8 feet wide, Jury’s Yellow 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 especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As the shrub grows lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree that serves well as an a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, and shade and woodland gardens. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter for those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where this variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 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 7a, 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.
