Camellia sasanqua 'Moonshadow'

Moon Shadow Camellia captivates with profuse oversized white blooms featuring striking pink margins that create sophisticated chromatic contrast. This autumn-flowering cultivar delivers exceptional floral abundance and scale, substantially surpassing comparable Leslie Ann selections in both bloom quantity and individual flower dimensions. Its prolific flowering habit and dramatic color presentation render it an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking commanding seasonal impact and refined ornamental presence during the transitional autumn months when most flowering plants diminish their display.

Moon Shadow Camellia demands well-draining soil conditions and restrained watering protocols—overwatering presents greater risk than periodic moisture stress. In clay-based soils, amending planting holes with pine bark or comparable organic soil conditioners substantially improves drainage and root establishment. This soil preparation methodology benefits the complete spectrum of acid-loving ornamentals including rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurels, establishing optimal foundation conditions for sustained plant vigor and reliable performance across diverse landscape applications.
