Camellia sasanqua 'Yume'

The Yume Camellia brings understated beauty to your garden with its unique hybrid heritage. Crossing japonica and sasanqua genetics, this variety rewards you with abundant blooms stretching from November through February—even when temperatures dip to 26°F. Each delicate flower showcases heart-shaped petals with a soft blush-pink center and a gentle, sweet fragrance that feels like a gift during the colder months. At a manageable 5 feet by 5 feet after seven years, it fits beautifully into most spaces and responds wonderfully to espalier training, giving you creative options for how you'd like it to grow.

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.
