Camellia japonica 'White by the Gate'

 

White by the Gate Camellia produces abundant large formal white blooms from late winter through spring, creating such profuse flowering that foliage becomes nearly obscured at peak bloom. This vigorous cultivar develops into a substantial specimen with impressive stature, establishing itself as an effective tall hedge in warm climates while maintaining lustrous, deep-green evergreen foliage year-round. The combination of prolific formal flowers, robust growth habit, and persistent ornamental foliage makes it an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking dramatic seasonal flowering combined with substantial landscape structure and refined aesthetic presence throughout the year.

 

White by the Gate Camellia thrives in well-draining soil conditions and requires less frequent watering than many ornamental shrubs. In clay-heavy regions like North Carolina, amending planting holes with pine bark soil conditioner substantially improves drainage and root establishment for camellias, rhododendrons, mountain laurels, and azaleas. This soil modification prevents waterlogging and root rot while creating the acidic, friable medium these acid-loving plants require for optimal performance. Strategic soil preparation at planting time establishes the foundation for vigorous long-term growth and reduces ongoing maintenance demands throughout the specimen'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.
