Camellia Sasanqua 'Winter Interlude'

Winter's Interlude Camellia captivates with sophisticated bicolor blooms featuring outer pink petals surrounding an intricate center of creamy white and clear pink smaller petals arranged in clustered profusion. This evergreen cultivar reaches 5 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, establishing itself as an effective hedge, screen, or substantial border element. Its refined flower form and persistent foliage provide year-round ornamental presence while the prolific blooms excel as cut flower material for indoor arrangements. Equally effective in patio containers, wall-side borders, and mixed plantings, this cultivar combines sophisticated color complexity with versatile landscape application and refined aesthetic refinement.

Winter's Interlude Camellia performs optimally in well-draining soil conditions, requiring less frequent watering than many ornamental shrubs. In clay-predominant regions like North Carolina, amending planting holes with pine bark soil conditioner substantially improves drainage and root establishment for camellias, rhododendrons, mountain laurels, and azaleas. This soil modification prevents waterlogging and root rot while creating the acidic, friable medium these acid-loving plants require for vigorous establishment and long-term performance. Strategic soil preparation at planting time establishes the foundation for healthy growth and reduces maintenance demands throughout the specimen's lifespan.
