Camellia Sasanqua 'Sparkling Burgundy' is a moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 7A through 9B. It prefers growing in a location that provides morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in loam or clay soil that is well drained or moderately drained. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to heat.
Sparkling Burgundy Camellia can be useful in the landscape in foundation plantings, as a buffer or screen, as a background, in shrub borders, as a focal point, in landscape beds or islands, grown flat against a wall, as a hedge or as a tree form shrub and also in theme gardens, cottage gardens or shade gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Sparkling Burgundy is one of the best and an all-time favorite. An abundance of gorgeous, fuschia-pink colored double blooms are produced from fall to mid winter. A truly outstanding cut flower. The dense, semi-weeping habit and the glossy, dark green foliage produces an exceptional evergreen for foundation planting and backgrounds.
Uses
Sparkling Burgundy is great for use as colorful, evergreen hedges or screens. It can also be "limbed up" to form a very attractive small tree which can be placed in small groupings or as a focal point specimen. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a wall.
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. Your new camellia should not need regular watering after the first year unless there are extended periods of dry weather during summer. Camellias do best in partial shade or filtered sun. Avoid afternoon direct sun
