About Your New Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush'

Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush' is a versatile evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant, long-lasting floral display. Reaching up to 3 meters tall with a compact, bushy habit, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it suitable for a variety of garden styles.

The small, glossy dark green leaves form a dense, lush backdrop year-round, while deep rosy pink buds open to white, semi-double flowers with pink reverses from autumn through winter. This prolonged flowering period adds seasonal interest when most plants are dormant.

They look excellent as hedges, screens, espalier, container specimens, or standout garden features, combining beauty and adaptability with low maintenance requirements.
