CAMELLIA SASANQUA 
The popularity of the Camellia sasanqua has grown 
tremendously in the past decade. It is a fine ever- 
green shrub with beautiful flowers in the fall. Its 
foliage is small, dark shiny green with slender 
branches. It gives a softer tone and adds to the 
artistry of the landscape. There is no plant, in our 
opinion, more suitable for the southern garden than 
the sasanqua. 
The sasanqua blooms in the fall, from September 
to December, and before the severe freezes. There- 
fore, it can be planted in a wider territory than the 
Camellia japonica and comes into bloom when nothing 
else is in color. It is much hardier than the japonica 
and grows in more different soils and withstands to 
a greater degree excess or lack of moisture, fertiliza- 
tion, etc. There is a large demand for the sasanqua 
as understock for grafting and it is probably the best 
understock.
