Camellia 'Snow Flurry'
camellia (syn. Camellia sasanqua 'Snow Flurry')
A stunning, evergreen shrub that flowers during the late autumn and winter, prized for the contrast in its beautiful, pure white, anemone-form, semi-double blooms and dense, dark-green, toothed, glossy foliage. 'Snow Flurry' is a lightly scented camellia that boasts a compact and rounded form making it ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings, adding a touch of sophistication to any garden or suitably large pot.
How to care for Camellia Snow Flurry:
To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant. Prefers acidic soil with plenty of organic matter and good drainage.
