Camellia X 'Snow Chan'

Snow Chan Camellia captivates through exceptional abundance of large double white flowers persisting from winter through spring, establishing commanding seasonal presence against year-round lustrous deep-green evergreen foliage. Late-stage bloom maturation reveals prominent yellow stamen architecture, extending floral interest through progressive opening stages. Peak bloom periods generate such profuse floral density that foliage becomes substantially obscured, creating dramatic chromatic impact. This vigorous cultivar demonstrates exceptional ornamental value when strategically paired with Professors Sargent Camellia, establishing sophisticated complementary color combinations and extended bloom-season coverage. The combination of exceptional white-tone floral abundance, refined double-bloom architecture, sustained evergreen foliage quality, progressive stamen revelation, and companion-planting synergy establishes it as an outstanding selection for gardeners prioritizing dramatic winter-season impact and refined ornamental presence across diverse landscape applications without demanding specialized cultural protocols or intensive management requirements.

Snow Chan Camellia thrives in well-draining soil conditions and benefits from restrained watering protocols—excessive moisture retention poses greater establishment risk than periodic drought stress. In clay-predominant soils prevalent throughout many regions, amending planting holes with pine bark or comparable organic soil conditioners substantially improves drainage and root development. This soil preparation methodology proves equally beneficial for companion acid-loving species including rhododendrons, mountain laurels, and azaleas, establishing optimal growing conditions that support sustained vigor and reliable performance across diverse landscape applications..
