Why Choose Camellia sasanqua?

Camellia sasanqua is prized for its extended flowering season, typically blooming from late autumn through early spring. Unlike its cousin, Camellia japonica, sasanqua types are more sun-tolerant, making them fantastic for sunny garden positions. Their dense, evergreen leaves also create a superb, low-maintenance hedge or screen, while their blooms bring a burst of colour just when many other plants are winding down.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant your Camellia sasanqua in well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Whether you pick a classic variety or something more unique from our collection, ensure the root ball is level with the ground, and water well during establishment. Camellia sasanqua thrives best with protection from harsh afternoon sun in hotter regions, but generally, these robust evergreens tolerate a range of conditions.

Feed in early spring with a camellia-specific fertiliser, replenishing mulch to keep roots cool and moist. While pruning isn’t required, a light trim after flowering keeps your plant tidy and encourages healthy new growth.
