Discover the enchanting beauty of Camellia sasanqua, also known as Sasanqua Camellia, a captivating evergreen shrub native to Japan and cherished across the American South for nearly two centuries. With its densely branched, pyramidal to oval-rounded form, this shrub reaches heights of 6-10 feet and showcases lustrous, narrow-oval, dark green leaves that provide a stunning contrast to its delicate white to pale pink blossoms. Blooming from fall into early winter, its mildly aromatic flowers, adorned with bright yellow-anthered stamens, bring vibrant color to any landscape.

Ideal for USDA Zones 7-9, Sasanqua Camellia thrives in sun-dappled part shade under tree canopies, with well-drained, acidic, and organically rich soil. Its versatile nature allows it to flourish as a graceful addition to woodland gardens, mixed borders, or as a charming focal point on lawns. Use it for hedges, screens, espaliers, or even bonsai, and let its airy branches and pliable stems create a sense of movement and elegance in your garden.

Though it braves the cold less reliably than common camellias, in milder zones, Sasanqua Camellia can be overwintered indoors in containers, making it a delightful option for sunrooms or greenhouses. Its rich cultural heritage and exceptional form make it a must-have for plant enthusiasts seeking a touch of classic beauty and grace in their gardens. Enjoy the myriad of ways this stunning shrub can transform your outdoor space into a serene paradise.
