Growing Camellia sasanqua Sparkling Burgundy Successfully in NZ

This variety thrives best in well-drained soils with a slightly acidic pH. It prefers full sun to partial shade and benefits from sheltered locations, especially during harsh winds or frosts. Regular watering during dry periods supports healthy blooms and foliage. Being frost hardy once established, this shrub fits well in a variety of NZ garden conditions, from coastal to inland.

Camellia sasanqua Sparkling Burgundy Care Tips

Feed with a balanced fertiliser during spring to encourage lush growth and abundant flowering. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or weak branches. Mulching helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool. Regularly check for pests such as aphids or scale insects, treating promptly if necessary.

Plant Size and Spacing

This Camellia grows to approximately 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide. When planting multiple shrubs as a hedge or mass planting, space them about 1.5 m apart to allow for mature growth and airflow, reducing disease risk. In smaller gardens, it works well as a specimen plant or clipped hedge.
