Camellia sasanqua 'Shishi Gashira'
Shishi Gashira Camellia produces large amounts of hot pink single blooms with golden stamens in late fall and into winter. A low growing, but wide shrub, the Shishi Gashira camellia is an excellent choice for a low hedge in a small yard. Weeping growth habit can give a romantic feel to a garden. A good companion plant is Snow Flurry Camellia.
Teas/tisanes can be made from all camellias, for varied flavored results depending on the variety and processing methods used--some cultivars have caffeine, while some do not. There are resources available online for the hobbyist and production-minded tea makers alike. Research, experiment, process and use at your own risk.
