Arriving fashionably late in the gardening year, Camellia sasanqua ‘Kanjiro’ is a sight to behold in autumn and winter. Sparkling through some of our bleakest months, filling your garden with lustrous evergreen leaves and large, glamorous blooms which emerge from plump buds. Camellia sasanqua ‘Kanjiro’ produces masses of single and semi-double blooms in bright, rich shades of cerise pink, with hints of white, and a generous golden corona to the centre. Boasting a delicate fragrance which is best appreciated up close, plants will flower from October to January against a glossy foil of luxuriant, dark green foliage. A florist’s dream, both the foliage and the flowers are excellent cut for flower arrangements; to be brought in to be admired within your home. Camelia sasanqua ‘Kanjiro’ prefers to be grown in reliably moist, mildly acidic soil of any kind except chalk based. Plant in full sun to partial shade with a degree of shelter to help protect the buds from damage by cold winds. A hardy (H4) evergreen shrub or tree which reaches a height and spread of 3 metres.
