Overview

Camellia sasanqua, a broad-leaved evergreen shrub, is esteemed for its elegant winter blooms. Typically reaching 4-12 feet in height and 5-10 feet in width, it thrives in partial shade with well-drained, acidic soil. This plant's glossy foliage and cascades of white, pink, or red petals offer a stunning contrast in cool-season gardens. Sasanqua camellias are hardy, low maintenance, and can be shaped into hedges or espaliered for decorative appeal.
