Camellia sasanqua Assorted

Camellia sasanqua is a highly popular camellia species prized for its reliability, sun tolerance and versatility in landscape design. With glossy green foliage and masses of delicate blooms from autumn into early winter, it provides colour during the cooler months while offering strong evergreen structure year round. Growing broadly upright to 4-10m depending on conditions, it is ideal for hedging, screening, espalier, formal gardens and feature planting in both residential and commercial settings.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade; more sun tolerant than japonica.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during flowering. Avoid waterlogging.
• Fertiliser: Apply a slow release fertiliser annually in spring to support healthy growth.
• Maintenance: Mulch well and lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape.
• Flowering: Flowering occurs from winter through spring.

Protect camellias from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun to minimise bud drop and leaf scorch.
