Camellia Sasanqua 'Pure Silk'

Size: 150L
Sale price$750.00

Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk' is an elegant evergreen shrub known for its pure white, semi-double blooms that stand out beautifully against glossy, dark green foliage. Flowering from autumn to early winter, it adds serene, eye-catching appeal during cooler months.

This compact variety grows upright with a slightly spreading habit, reaching 2–3 meters tall and 1.5–2 meters wide, making it ideal for hedging, containers, or as a feature plant in ornamental gardens. It thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers well-drained, moist, acidic to slightly acidic soils.

They look excellent in structured garden designs, offering year-round greenery and seasonal floral interest with minimal maintenance. Regular pruning and mulching help maintain health and shape, while pest vigilance ensures vibrant growth.
