Description
The Showa-no-sakae Camellia has so many fine attributes it's hard to know where to start. A profusion of beautiful -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.
