About this product
Extend the camellia season with the charming Camellia sasanqua Mix, a collection of evergreen shrubs that flower generously from autumn into early winter. Their glossy, deep green foliage provides the perfect backdrop for masses of delicate, single or semi-double blooms in shades of pink, red, and white. Lightly scented and long-lasting, these flowers bring welcome colour and fragrance to the garden when little else is in bloom.
Compact and upright in habit, Camellia sasanqua varieties are perfect for borders, woodland gardens, or large containers. They thrive in acidic, moist but well-drained soil and prefer a sheltered spot in partial shade. After 5 years, plants typically reach around 1.5m in height and 1–1.2m in spread, forming a neat shrub that provides structure and beauty all year round.
