CAMELLIAS sasanqua 
The sasanqua Camellias start to bloom in fall, from 
mid-September through December, or when real hard 
freezing occurs. Here in Maryland they are perfectly 
hardy, and we believe if given a little protection they can 
be successfully grown farther north. 
They desire morning sun, but should have partial shade 
during the afternoon. Soil should be a good loam, with 
rotted oak-leaf compost added generously, and fed with a 
good complete fertilizer suitable for azaleas and rhodo- 
dendrons. They dislike north and westerly winds, there- 
fore, they should be planted in a position that is sheltered, 
facing east or southeast. Spring planting is best and this 
can be done anytime from April 1st to May 15th. Fall 
planting can be successfully done, and this should be early 
in mid-September through to mid-October for best results. 
A mulch should be placed around them during the winter 
to allow the small white roots to continue growing, and 
this mulch will also keep the roots from heavy freezing 
during the winter months.
