Description
A rare and exquisite fall blooming Camellia sasanqua x vernalis hybrid introduced back in the 1960’s by McCaskill Gardens in Passdena California, ‘Star Above Star’ features abundant, romantic looking semi-double flowers with layers of pointed petals that look like stars stacked on top of stars. The petals are white at the center shading to lavender-rose at the edges. Dark green evergreen foliage serves an an excellent backdrop to the flowers. A vigorous grower to 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide, Star Above Star makes an excellent evergreen specimen or hedge or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to about 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide, Star Above Star camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is especially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a small evergreen tree that serves well as an attractive and colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders.
Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 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.
