Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka'

Autumn Camellia

Evergreen Shrub

One of the best autumn/winter blooming Camellias. A display of semi-double white flowers begins in early November and finishes in January. It's a vigorous evergreen shrub for full sun to light shade. It will appreciate light summer water but is very drought adapted when established. To 8′ x 6′ in 6 years. Excellent as an espalier or for a front yard garden or courtyard. A handsome and stylish shrub for year round appeal.
