Camellia sasanqua 'Shishi' Shishigashira Camellia

Camellia sasanqua ‘Shishigashira’ is a highly decorative evergreen shrub, renowned for its profusion of glowing rosy-pink, semi-double blossoms accented with golden-yellow stamens. Blooming from early to mid-season, it produces flowers over several months, creating a stunning display that becomes a highlight of any garden. Its glossy, dark green foliage is elegantly borne on arching branches, making it perfect for mixed shrub borders, woodland gardens, or as a colorful hedge or screen. This versatile plant thrives in full sun to part shade with consistently moist, acidic, organically rich, well-drained soil, and benefits from protection against cold, dry winds and harsh afternoon sun. Ideal for containers or tubs, it can be trained as an espalier or left to form a natural, spreading shape. To maintain health and beauty, apply root mulch, prune after flowering to thin branches, and monitor for pests such as aphids, scale, or vine weevil. The charming, fluted petals of each bloom, though short-lived, lend a delicate fragrance and elegance, blending seamlessly with other garden shrubs without overwhelming them. Faster growing than Camellia japonica and more sun tolerant, Camellia sasanqua ‘Shishigashira’ is a graceful and rewarding addition to any garden or container setting.
