Camellia Japonica 'Jacks'

 

Jacks Camellia display medium to large, double, rose-pink blooms. Blooms appear late in the season, winter through spring accompanied by its year round lustrous, glossy, deep-green foliage. This evergreen reaches a mature height of 6 to 10 feet and a mature width of 4 to 8 feet. Uses for Jacks Camellia include accent, mass planting, specimen, container, shady foundation bed, privacy screen, hedge, espalier, woodland garden, border, landscape bed, and cut flowers.

 

Teas/tisanes can be made from all camellias, for varied flavored results depending on the variety and processing methods used--some cultivars have caffeine, while some do not. There are resources available online for the hobbyist and production-minded tea makers alike. Research, experiment, process and use at your own risk.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer fall planting with less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
