Description
The Showa-no-sakae Camellia has so many fine attributes it’s hard to know where to start. A profusion of beautiful clear-pink peony to anemone form double flowers keep coming over a long period in fall on compact and dense mounding plants with arching branches that might reach 5 feet tall if left unpruned. The flowers stand out remarkably well against the deep green and lustrous evergreen foliage. A versatile Camellia that is perfect for a low hedge in landscape borders or home foundation plantings or in containers and even large hanging baskets.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 to 5 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Showa-no-sakae Camellia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, as a low hedge, as a groundcover in landscape borders or on embankments, as a border along paths and walkways, and as an accent or hedge in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for pots, planters and other containers.
Suggested Spacing: 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
