Setsugekka Camellia

$54.99

Large, perfectly formed, semi-double, white flowers with ruffled edges and a bright center of golden stamens. The dense, semi-weeping habit and glossy, dark green foliage create an exceptional evergreen foundation planting or espalier. A mid-season bloomer.

Care:

Camellias prefer an acidic, humus rich soil with an organic mulch and average moisture. Once well-established they need little additional care and will continue to perform for years to come. Most Camellias do best where they get light shade or morning sun. Fertilize in spring. If desired, remove all but one bud from each cluster to increase the size of the flower. Prune immediately after flowering. 

Growing Habit:

Camellia sasanqua and most of its cultivars are considered to be winter hardy to USDA Zones 7-9. Height at maturity is 8-10' both tall & wide. Even where winter hardy, unusually cold temperatures in winter (below 10 degrees F), particularly when occurring as a sudden temperature change, can damage or sometimes kill Camellias (like Gardenias).

Toxicity:

Camellias are relatively deer resistant. All parts of the plants are non-toxic to pets.
