Camellia X 'Jury's Yellow'
This stunning camellia variety produces an impressive display of large, double blooms in soft pale yellow throughout winter and spring, creating a striking contrast against its perpetually lustrous, deep-green foliage. When flowering peaks, the profusion of buds and blossoms nearly obscures the leaves entirely. Maturing to 8–12 feet tall and 5–7 feet wide, Jury's Yellow offers year-round visual interest and serves as a distinctive choice among limited yellow camellia cultivars available for landscape use.
Camellias thrive in well-draining soil and require less frequent watering than many gardeners assume. For optimal growth, amend heavy clay soils with pine bark conditioner—a practice particularly beneficial in regions like North Carolina where native soil composition demands improved drainage. This soil preparation technique also benefits companion acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, mountain laurels, and azaleas, creating ideal conditions for a cohesive woodland garden aesthetic.
