Noteworthy Characteristics
Jesse Burgess camellia produces an abundance of very large, semi double, rose color blooms with silver silver cast over a long blooming season from mid to early winter to early to mid spring. A very dependable bloomer with heavy bud set. Handsome upright growth.
Uses
Jesse Burgess camellia is useful to create colorful, evergreen hedges or screens. It can be grown as a shrub or also be "limbed up" to form an attractive, small, evergreen tree that can be useful as a focal point specimen. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a large, open wall.
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. Your new camellia should not need regular watering after the first year unless there are extended periods of dry weather during summer. Camellias do best in partial shade or filtered sun. Avoid afternoon direct sun
