Camellia Snow Flurry

Camellia 'Snow Flurry'

Camellia ‘Snow Flurry’ is a charming variety prized for its delicate, pure white semi-double blooms that appear from late winter through early spring. Each flower has gracefully layered petals that create a soft, airy appearance, reminiscent of a gentle snowfall. The blooms stand out beautifully against the plant’s glossy, deep-green evergreen foliage, providing structure and elegance throughout the year. Its serene coloration and refined form make it a standout addition to shaded garden areas, woodland borders, or formal foundation plantings.

Compact yet vigorous, ‘Snow Flurry’ thrives in partial shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun. Its controlled growth habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens or container planting, while still offering abundant seasonal blooms. Beyond its ornamental appeal, this camellia is valued for reliable flowering and low-maintenance care, rewarding gardeners with striking winter-to-spring color and year-round greenery. Properly planted in acidic, well-draining soil, it delivers exceptional long-term beauty and durability in temperate landscapes.

Care Instructions

Planting

Plant in partial shade, avoiding strong afternoon sun. Use acidic, well-draining soil and set the root ball slightly above ground level.

Watering

Maintain evenly moist soil without waterlogging. Deep water weekly during dry spells and increase moisture in late summer to support flower bud development.

Pruning

Prune immediately after flowering. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and lightly shape to preserve airflow and form.

Pest Control

Monitor for scale, aphids, and spider mites. Treat early with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap. Ensure good airflow to reduce fungal problems.

Soil Tips

Use acidic, organic-rich soil with excellent drainage. Mulch annually to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect shallow roots.
