If you’re eager to infuse some vibrant color into your winter garden, sasanqua camellias should be at the top of your list. These elegant plants grace your outdoor space with a captivating display of flowers from autumn through late winter, significantly earlier than their more well-known japonica counterparts. Complementing their blooming beauty are glossy green leaves and captivating growth patterns, making them a must-have for your winter garden.
Sasanqua camellias thrive whether planted in containers, shrub beds, or tree beds, offering you versatile placement options on patios, decks, along walkways, or as bonsai specimens, espaliers, informal hedges, screens, or as graceful focal points within your garden. Their natural growth patterns range from upright to gracefully resembling willow branches. These remarkable plants feature single, semi-double, or fully double flowers, which can be small, medium, or quite large, and they come in an array of delightful shades, including pink, rose, red, white, and various combinations.
What sets sasanqua camellias apart is their resilience in tolerating more sun exposure compared to their spring-flowering camellia counterparts. Most sasanqua varieties also maintain a more manageable size, making them ideal as understory plants. Like all camellias, it’s crucial to plant them in well-drained locations, within a hole enriched with an acidic planting mix. We cordially invite you to visit us and witness the stunning full bloom of our sasanqua camellias in all their glory.
