PLANT PROFILE

Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' is an evergreen shrub known for its profuse, ruffled white flowers that bloom from late autumn to early winter. Its glossy dark green leaves provide year-round interest, while the elegant flowers with golden stamens create a striking seasonal display.

This cultivar grows upright to 2–4 meters tall and 1.5–2.5 meters wide, fitting well in gardens of varying sizes, borders, or containers. It prefers partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Moderate drought tolerance develops once established, but consistent moisture enhances performance.

They look excellent as a winter focal point, especially when paired with other acid-loving plants. Maintenance is low, requiring only light pruning after flowering to maintain shape and encourage denser growth.

 

Mature Height: 3m - 5m Approximately (can be espaliered or kept smaller by pruning)

Approx. 40 – 60 cm per year

Hedging & Screening: Plant 1 m apart for a formal hedge, or 1.2 m apart for a softer look.

Avenue Planting Trees: Not typically used.

Planting Your 'Setsugekka' Camellia:

  1. Select the Right Site: Choose a semi-shaded spot with protection from the hot afternoon sun and strong winds. Camellias prefer acidic, well-draining soil.
  2. Prepare the Soil: Dig a hole approximately 50 cm deep and 1 meter wide. Mix in plenty of organic matter such as well-rotted manure or compost.
  3. Planting: Position the camellia in the hole so that the top of the root ball is slightly above ground level to allow for settling and to improve drainage.
  4. Backfill: Gently backfill the hole with the same soil mixture, being careful not to compact the soil too much.
  5. Water Thoroughly: Water the plant well after planting, ensuring the root zone is evenly moist.
  6. Mulching: Apply a 7-10 cm layer of organic mulch, such as bark or leaf mold, around the plant to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
