Camellia Snow Flurry

Camellia hybrid 'Snow Flurry'

A gorgeous autumn flowering (sasanqua) Camellia that it named for its tolerance of very cold weather and pure white, slightly scented, anemone-form flowers. Less well known than their spring cousins, the vigorous, upright evergreen foliage will provide year-round interest and a pop of colour just as most flowers in the garden are fading.

Plant in a mixed shrub border to add some blooms from autumn into winter. Great choice for woodland gardens or planted as a screen or hedge. Grow in a shelter position with some protection from cold winds in acid to neutral well drained soil. Prune after flowering in late spring, either lightly for a larger, relaxed shape, or hard for a smaller, compact form.
