Camellia sasanqua 'Mine No Yuki'
Mine-No-Yuki Camellia, known colloquially as White Doves, showcases abundant large white blooms with delicate frilled petals from autumn through December, extending ornamental interest into the winter season. This low-maintenance cultivar reaches 6 feet tall with an 8-foot spread, developing a substantial yet refined presence within the landscape. Its exceptional adaptability to both sun and shade conditions expands placement possibilities across diverse microclimates, making it an excellent selection for gardeners seeking reliable camellia performance without demanding cultural requirements or light-exposure constraints.
Mine-No-Yuki Camellia requires well-draining soil conditions and restrained watering practices—overwatering presents greater risk than periodic moisture deficit. In clay-heavy soils prevalent throughout many regions, amending planting holes with pine bark or comparable organic soil conditioners substantially improves drainage and root establishment. This soil preparation methodology benefits the complete spectrum of acid-loving ornamentals including rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurels, establishing optimal foundation conditions for sustained plant health and reliable performance across diverse landscape applications.
