Camellia Japonica 'Jacks'

 

Jack's Camellia presents medium to large double blooms in sophisticated rose-pink tones, flowering prolifically from winter through spring when few competitors bloom. Its lustrous deep-green evergreen foliage maintains year-round ornamental presence, providing elegant structure during dormant seasons. Reaching 6-10 feet in height with 4-8 foot spread, this cultivar accommodates diverse landscape applications including specimen plantings, privacy screening, hedging, espalier training, and woodland compositions. The refined floral form and extended bloom window make it exceptional for cut flower arrangements, while its substantial size and dense branching structure suit foundation plantings, mass groupings, and naturalized settings. An exceptionally versatile camellia combining reliable winter flowering with architectural presence and multiple design applications across temperate gardens.

 

Successful camellia establishment hinges on prioritizing drainage infrastructure, as these plants demonstrate surprising drought tolerance once established. Clay-based soils prevalent throughout North Carolina require amendment with pine bark soil conditioner to create the well-aerated, acidic growing medium camellias demand. This amendment strategy proves equally valuable when establishing companion ericaceous plantings—rhododendrons, mountain laurel, and azaleas—creating cohesive soil conditions that support long-term vigor across shade garden compositions. Proper drainage prevents waterlogging complications and fungal diseases, ensuring reliable flowering performance and sustained plant health throughout the camellia's lifespan.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer 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.
