Camellia 'Shishi Gashira'

About this plant

Camellia sasanqua 'Shishi Gashira' is a beloved evergreen shrub, celebrated for its unique growth habit and profusion of autumn flowers. Unlike many camellias, 'Shishi Gashira' maintains a more compact, spreading form, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, low hedges, or even container planting where its枝hanging branches can spill over the edges. From early fall into winter, this Camellia blankets itself in an abundance of vibrant, semi-double, rosy-pink petals centered with bright yellow stamens. These delicate yet showy flowers provide much-needed color and cheer during a time when many other plants are fading. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to the blooms and remains attractive year-round. Hardy and relatively low-maintenance, 'Shishi Gashira' is a versatile addition to almost any garden design. Its graceful form and enchanting blooms make it a standout specimen, perfect for adding a touch of elegance and seasonal interest to your landscape.

Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained, acidic soil. Mulch annually to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder zones.
