A brand new cultivar sporting glossy green leaves that hold their color year 'round. Does well in well-drained slightly acidic soils. Excellent as a hedge, privacy or foundation plant. With a slight touch of elegance, this would be a good pyramidal shrub to decorate for the holidays. Also does well in containers.
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.
