Description
Camellia sasanqua 10LT is a beautiful evergreen shrub admired for its elegant blooms, glossy dark green foliage, and long flowering season. Blooming from autumn into early winter, it produces masses of delicate flowers in shades of white, pink, or deep rose, bringing colour to the garden when many other plants are dormant. Its naturally dense growth makes it ideal for hedges, screening, feature planting, containers, or as a striking specimen in the garden. Camellia sasanqua 10LT typically grows to approximately 2–4m tall and 2–3m wide, and responds well to pruning if a more compact shape is desired.
Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Flowering Shrub
Sunlight: Thrives in Full Sun to Semi-Shade. It performs best with morning sun and some afternoon shade, especially in warmer regions, to protect its flowers and foliage.
Water: Water regularly during establishment, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, water deeply during dry periods, particularly while flowering.
Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Applying mulch helps retain moisture and keeps the roots cool.
Frost: Frost Hardy. Established plants tolerate light to moderate frost, although young plants may benefit from protection during severe frost.
Maintenance: Lightly prune 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.
