About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia sasanqua 'Mino Yuki' (also commonly listed as 'Mine-no-Yuki' and known as 'White Doves') is a popular fall-to-winter flowering sasanqua camellia valued for its profuse display of white double blooms. The flowers are described as white with visible yellow stamens, giving them a soft, elegant appearance. This cultivar has a spreading, somewhat willowy habit and typically matures to about 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, making it well suited for borders, foundation plantings, or use as a specimen shrub. As a sasanqua camellia, it is an evergreen shrub with small, glossy foliage and good landscape versatility.
