Camellia J. Sasanqua Pink, 2/3L
£30.00
notes
Slightly less hardy than spring flowering camellias, the camellia sasanqua requires a sunny spot positioned out of cold winds in ericaceous soil. The glossy evergreen leaves add a foil to summer flowering plants but, in autumn when everything dies down, they take centre stage, bearing an abundance of small, pink flowers, with gently ruffled petals and golden anthers.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 2/3L
- Eventual Height and Spread: 300cm (9ft 10in) x 300cm (9ft 10in)
