{"key":"mine","id":"PLT-CAME-MINE-NO-YUKI","slug":"mine-no-yuki-camellia","name":"Mine-No-Yuki Camellia","botanical":"Camellia sasanqua 'Mine-No-Yuki'","eyebrow":"WHITE FLOWERS FOR THE COOLER SEASON","benefit":"Give the quiet season a focal point.","intro":"White autumn flowers and glossy foliage bring a sheltered garden into focus as summer color fades. Use this broad camellia where its arching form can unfold, with room to enjoy the view from indoors and from the terrace.","h":[6,8],"w":[8,10],"install":[3,3],"color":"#4D6341","habit":"Broad, arching evergreen shrub","light":"Morning sun or filtered light","lightTags":["part"],"water":"Even moisture; freely draining soil","season":"Evergreen · white fall-to-winter blooms","care":"Selective pruning after flowering","site":"A candidate for sheltered Pensacola gardens with acidic, well-drained soil. Filtered light and relief from harsh afternoon sun help make a welcoming location; an exposed salt-spray frontage needs a different assessment.","sizeNote":"Allow roughly 6–8 ft of height and 8–10 ft of width for this spreading selection. This Florida grower range is a planning allowance, not a promise that growth stops there. Mine-No-Yuki is a named cultivar; do not substitute another white camellia using its dimensions.","uses":["A white-flowering garden focal point","An evergreen backdrop to a courtyard","A broad informal garden edge","A view from a living-room window","A sheltered border with winter interest"],"checks":[["Can the branches spread naturally?","Reserve a generous bed behind the future canopy line. A gate, narrow side passage or low window can become a permanent pruning problem when a broad shrub is chosen for a small opening."],["Where does the afternoon sun land?","Walk the site during the hottest part of the day. A bright morning location with later shelter is a useful starting point; deep shade can reduce flowers."],["What happens after heavy rain?","Camellias need drainage as well as moisture. Keep them out of recurring puddles and roof-discharge areas. Review the grade before choosing a plant to fill a troublesome wet corner."],["Where will the petals fall?","White blooms are beautiful from a terrace, but flowers eventually shed. Set the planting back from pool coping and the tightest walking route, and allow access to tidy the bed."]],"faq":[["Is this the same as Snow Flurry?","This guide is specifically for Mine-No-Yuki, the name on the Structure Studios selection sheet. Similar white flowers do not establish that an ambiguously named camellia is the same plant. Match the nursery label before ordering."],["Can it make a narrow hedge?","Its natural width makes it better suited to a broad, informal planting. A permanently narrow hedge calls for a plant whose growth habit already fits that job."],["Will it flower all winter?","Bloom timing varies with weather and location. Expect a cool-season display, with the evergreen foliage doing the everyday work between flowering periods."]],"sources":[["UF/IFAS · camellias in Florida","https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/EP002"],["VerdeGo Florida nursery · cultivar size and siting","https://verdego.com/product/camellia-sasanqua-mine-no-yuki/"],["RHS · Mine-No-Yuki habit and flowers","https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/70747/camellia-sasanqua-mine-no-yuki/details"]],"companions":[{"slug":"radicans-gardenia","name":"Radicans Gardenia","title":"A LOWER WHITE-FLOWERING LAYER","reason":"Explore Radicans in a brighter front pocket of the same acidic, well-drained garden.
