Camellia Jurys Yellow

Camellia 'Jury's Yellow' is a compact bush with an upright habit. This bush produces white flowers spotted with pale yellow in the center.

This variety blooms from February to April. It forms a bush of 1.30m (3.3 ft) in height and 70cm (27.6 in) in width. It produces curious semi-double flowers 6 cm to 7 cm (2.4 in to 2.8 in) in diameter, which are cream white with a pale-yellow heart made of crumpled petals and bordered with cream.

The round leaves of the camellia are dark green, measuring 5 to 8 cm (2 in to 3.1 in) in length, and are evergreen. Hardy down to -14° C (6.8° F), this variety grows in partial shade, sheltered from cold winds. It prefers acidic, humus-rich, moist, and light soil.

Plant Camellia 'Jury's Yellow' alongside azaleas, skimmia, Pieris, and heathers. Its cream flowers go perfectly with Japanese Quince 'Kinshiden', adorned on the ground with a carpet of green-white tulips, such as the Lily Flowered Tulip 'Greenstar' or the Viridiflora Tulip 'Spring Green'.

Its compact size also allows for pot cultivation, so place it on a semi-shaded terrace, along a wall, protected from cold and drying winds.
