More About Shishi Gashira Camellia...Noteworthy Characteristics
Shishi Gashira is without a doubt the finest landscape camellia on the market. Produces an abundance of gorgeous, rose-pink double blooms that are as pretty as roses. Waxy, evergreeen, dark green leaves are handsome year round on this dwarf, compact form.
Uses
It's compact size (3-4' H x 4-5' W) make Shi Shi Gashira a fine selection for home foundation plantings or small garden spaces where larger growing cameliias won't fit. Like many evergreen azaleas, it also serves well in small to large groupings, as a natural low hedge or in large containers.
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.
