Description
One of if not the most beautiful and perfectly formed white flowers in existence, White By The Gate is an outstanding Camellia prized for its abundance of large, formal double pure white flowers produced continuously over a long flowering season from late winter into spring. Its dark green foliage is the perfect backdrop for the bright flowers. To enjoy these magnificent flowers indoors display several cuttings in a vase or float just one in a bowl of water.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, the White By The Gate Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this Camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree that serves well as colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this variety is not winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
