PLANT PROFILE

Camellia sasanqua ‘Hiryu’ in topiary ball form is a refined and structured addition to any formal or ornamental garden. Known for its compact growth and vibrant blooms, this evergreen shrub has been expertly shaped into a spherical form, offering year-round texture with bursts of colour from late autumn through early spring.

Featuring semi-double, deep pink flowers with a golden centre, ‘Hiryu’ provides reliable seasonal interest. The dark green, glossy foliage maintains its form with light trimming, making it ideal for low hedging, pots, or as a punctuation point in structured planting schemes.

Tolerant of part shade and adaptable to a range of soil types, these topiary balls thrive in courtyards, entrances, or clipped hedges. Once established, they’re drought-tolerant and low-maintenance — combining elegance with practicality.
