Description

The Mine No Yuki Camellia is also known as the White Doves Camellia, and with just one look at their plentifully petaled blooms, you will quickly see why! Each bloom is large, ruffled, and glistening white with a semi-double form. Furthermore, you'll find a gorgeous golden center in the middle of the flower. These blooms tend to span between 3-4 inches wide and have a distinctly feathery appearance. Expect it to begin flowering in the fall and continue into early winter.

This Camellia features reliably beautiful, dark evergreen foliage with a leathery appearance and has serrated edges that finally come to a point at the end of each leaf. With a naturally rounded growth pattern, the maintenance of this shrub is simple as it requires very little, if any, pruning at all.

Once established, this white-blooming Camellia is drought-tolerant. In addition, this variety is popular with birds that enjoy making nests and taking shelter in its thick, sturdy branches.

The White Doves Camellia reaches a mature size of 5-8' H x 5-8' wide. Because of this, it's ideal as a hedge, specimen, accent, mass planting, or container.

Mine No Yuki Camellia Care

Hardy from USDA Zones 7-9, down to 0°F.

Planting in Partial to Filtered Sun will allow the Camellia to produce the best foliage and blooms that the plant is capable of. 2-3 hours of direct sun or the all-day filtered sun will be what you want your plant to receive.

Like most Camellias, the White Doves Camellia needs slightly acidic soil with good drainage. Soil that is too alkaline will need to be treated with elemental sulfur or another soil acidifier of your choice. Water 2-3 times per week for the duration of the first growing season and reduce watering by half for the second season as it has established itself.

As your Mine No Yuki ages, supplementary watering will no longer be necessary except during EXTREME drought and high temperatures. If you want to fertilize, do so in the spring with an acidic plant fertilizer.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Our plants are adaptable but grow best in the correct USDA Zones. Click here to learn more about your USDA Zone.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

For seamless planting, place your Camellias 3 feet apart. Alternatively, space them 5+ feet apart for gaps between plants.
