Features of Camellia Sasanqua Sweet Jane

Camellia sasanqua sweet jane stands out with semi-double, pale pink flowers that fade gently to white at the petal edges. These blooms appear in abundance from April to July, providing colour just when many other plants are settling into winter dormancy. The foliage is lush and dark green, creating year-round structure in your garden. This camellia is highly valued for its neat growth habit; reaching approximately 2–3 metres tall at maturity, it is ideal for screening, topiary or simply as a specimen shrub.

Growing Camellia Sasanqua Sweet Jane in New Zealand
