15g Autumn Spirit Fall Blooming Camellia

Camellia sasanqua 'Autumn Spirit'

Grows 5' - 6' ht. & sp.

What a beautiful flower this Camellia has!  Autumn Spirit is a hybrid between C. oleifera x C. sasanqua and deserves to be a focal point of any garden.  It's bright and deep pink peony-shaped blooms are an intense show-stopper, and show up early in the season.

Like most sasanquas, they prefer slightly acidic and moist, rich soil that is well-drained, and they could use a little protection from the brutal afternoon summer heat.

Our plants are espaliered, but these would work well as a corner foundation plant, screen or even in a container.
