Description

Shishi Gashira is without a doubt one of the finest fall and winter blooming Camellias on the market. From mid fall through mid winter, ShiShi Gashira produces an amazing plethora of gorgeous, bright rose-pink double flowers on compact plants growing to only 3 to 4 feet tall with a slightly wider spread to maybe 5 feet. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for smaller garden spaces and in home foundation plantings.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing only 2 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Shishi Gashira Camellia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a hedge in landscape borders and is especially suited for use in partially shaded home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, Asian gardens, pink theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live and garden above USDA Zone 7a, where this camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
