One of the most popular Camellias of all time, Mine No Yuki is marked by charm, grace and versatility. This magnificent Camellia is known by gardeners for the abundance of stunning, frilly-edged, pure white slightly fragrant blooms that are produced throughout the fall season and stand out remarkably against the dark green, evergreen foliage.

Being a Sasanqua variety, Mine No Yuki Camellia very versatile. It grows about 6 to 8 feet tall with an equal spread and when left to grow naturally makes an outstanding hedge or corner plant in foundation plantings. It can be "limbed up" to form a spectacular small tree that is useful as a focal point specimen in the landscape. It can also be used for espalier; trained to grow flat against an open wall of the home or other structures.

Mine No Yuki is very easy to care for. Partial sun is preferred; morning sun with some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of the afternoon is best.

I recommend planting Camellias in sites that provide well-drained soil and some shade in the afternoon. Camellias do not like consistently wet soils and can develop root rot and other diseases if soil is too wet.

Camellias do not require pruning. However, you may decide to prune your camellia to maintain fullness, or to rejuvinate an old plant that has become spindly.

I rarely see any insect problems with camellias. Constantly wet soil can cause root rot.
