Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro'

This exquisite camellia cultivar showcases semi-double flowers with distinctive red-edged petals that transition to cherry pink, accented by golden stamens and a delicate fragrance. As a Sasanqua variety native to Japan's evergreen coastal forests, it naturally flowers throughout fall and winter months, earning its common designation as a Christmas Camellia. Remarkably adaptable, this evergreen specimen thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it an excellent choice for diverse garden settings and climates.

Successful camellia cultivation begins with proper soil preparation. These plants demand excellent drainage and require less frequent watering than many gardeners assume. In clay-heavy regions like North Carolina, amending planting beds with pine bark soil conditioner significantly improves drainage and creates the acidic conditions camellias prefer. This same amendment technique benefits companion acid-loving plants including rhododendrons, mountain laurels, and azaleas, making it an ideal solution for mixed shade gardens.
