Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This New Zealand hybrid is a soft yellow semi double. The plant is an upright 10'x 4' wide. We have grown this fine camellia for 30+ years and we are always amazed at the vigor and adaptability of C. 'Jury's Yellow'.
The highly sought after Yellow Camellia! 3" creamy yellow outside with a deeper yellow center, the double peony-like blooms are borne in mid season. Rich dark green foliage and dense growth habit. Camellias are the rose of winter in southern gardens, with their colorful blossoms held against deep rich green glossy foliage on a naturally upright to rounded evergreen shrub. Pick the flowers and float them in a bowl of water to bring their beauty indoors. Camellias prefer an acidic, humus rich soil with an organic mulch and average moisture. Once well-established they need little additional care and will continue to perform for years to come. Most Camellias do best where they get light shade or morning sun and the light filtered shade of pines seems to be perfect.
An abundance of medium-sized, anemone form flowers, comprised of a row of ivory guard petals encircling a mass of small, creamy yellow petaloids. This is a very nice crisp form. As one of the first "yellow" hybrids in the genus, it is certainly worth having for its pleasing soft color and its wonderful form, but don't expect a buttercup yellow because it has "yellow" in its name. This compact, upright shrub blooms early to late season.
