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.

 

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Camellia as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
