Camellia japonica 'Lemon Glow'

 

Lemon Glow Camellia delivers luminous early-spring blooms in soft cream and golden-yellow tones with full double-form petals. This cold-hardy cultivar extends camellia cultivation into zone 6, expanding possibilities for northern gardeners. Reaching 8–10 feet tall with a 6–8 foot spread, its deliberate growth habit and preference for well-draining soil make it an excellent choice for refined landscape compositions where measured development and sustained elegance are valued.

 

Lemon Glow Camellia thrives in well-draining soil conditions and requires measured watering—excessive moisture poses greater risk than periodic drought stress. In clay-heavy soils, incorporating pine bark or comparable organic soil amendments creates the acidic, freely-draining environment this species demands. This soil preparation strategy benefits the full spectrum of acid-loving ornamentals including rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurels, establishing optimal foundation conditions for long-term plant health and performance.

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.
