Description
Camellia sasanqua 20LT is a beautiful evergreen shrub admired for its glossy dark green foliage and masses of elegant blooms from autumn through early winter. Available in shades of white, pink, and red, its lightly fragrant flowers bring colour to the garden when many other plants have finished flowering. With its naturally dense growth habit, Camellia sasanqua is perfect for hedging, screening, feature planting, large containers, or as a stunning focal point in shaded garden beds. It typically grows 2–4m tall and 1.5–3m wide, depending on growing conditions and pruning.
Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Flowering Shrub
Sunlight: Thrives in Semi-Shade to Full Sun. Prefers morning sun with protection from harsh afternoon heat, especially in warmer climates.
Water: Water regularly during establishment to keep the soil consistently moist. Once established, water deeply during dry periods, ensuring the soil does not become waterlogged.
Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keeps the roots cool.
Frost: Moderately Frost Hardy. Mature plants tolerate light frost, while young plants benefit from protection during severe frost.
Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage healthy new growth. Feed with a fertiliser formulated for camellias or acid-loving plants during spring and again in early summer for the best flowering performance.
