What it's like
Sasanqua camellias flower in autumn rather than spring, and they take far more sun than people expect. Setsugekka has large, loosely-formed white flowers with a gold centre, and it's flexible enough to grow as a shrub, a hedge, or trained flat against a wall or fence. Glossy dark foliage year-round.
Getting it established
Acid soil and mulch. Espalier candidates should be tied in from the first year.
Potted stock travels upright in a purpose-built carton with the rootball wrapped. Bare-root trees are lifted the week they ship, roots packed in damp shavings. Either way, get it in the ground within a week of arrival.
You've got twelve months. If it was planted the way we suggested and it hasn't come away, send us a photo and we'll replace it on the next run.
Ten or more of one line gets trade pricing without an account. Tell us the site and we'll check the spacing with you before you order.
