Plant Details

Sasanqua camellias bear a profusion of lightly scented flowers that can appear as early as September for early bloomers, October for midseason bloomers, and December for late bloomers. The growth habit of these cultivars varies in form from low and compact, to upright and bushy, to 20' tall with a 10' spread. Leaves are evergreen, 1½-3" long, and dark, glossy green. They can tolerate full sun once established, but the roots must be kept cool.
