Description

You know it’s a rare Camellia when the American Camellia Society doesn’t list it in their register, which is the case with the ‘Sagamio Wabisuke’ Camellia, a putative hybrid of ancient origins in Japan. The word Sagamio means pure and never ending love. From mid to late fall and often well into winter, this beauty features abundant semi-double flowers with soft to light pink ruffled petals on an upright, dense shrub with attractive evergreen leaves. For both its beauty and rarity, this one is definitely a conversation piece in the garden.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide depending on pruning, the ‘Sagamio Wabisuke’ Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders. It is especially nice as corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As this camellia grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive, small evergreen tree that serves well as a colorful focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to camellia gardens, pink theme gardens, Asian gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, rare plant gardens and partially shaded woodland borders. Also suitable for growing in larger containers.

Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more for space between plants

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.
