Camellia sasanqua Shishi Gashira, also known as the "Lion's Head" camellia, is a much-loved shrub in New Zealand gardens. Its dense, compact growth and striking deep pink semi-double blooms set it apart in late autumn and early winter, providing dazzling colour when many other plants are dormant. Ideal for hedges, specimen planting, or containers, Shishi Gashira camellias are hardy, easy to care for, and thrive in a wide range of conditions—especially when planted in well-draining, slightly acidic soils with morning sun or dappled shade. Whether you're starting a new garden or revamping an established one, Camellia sasanqua Shishi Gashira offers year-round structure, glossy evergreen foliage, and a beautiful flower display that attracts pollinators like bees.

Camellia 'Setsugekka' is a sasanqua variety with large, semi-double, white flowers with wavy, fluted petals and a yellow centre. These contrast nicely with the glossy, dark green leaves as it grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide. Camellia 'Setsugekka' is commonly grown as a specimen, clipped into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used in cottage or 'white' gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
