The Camellia sasanqua is considered har dier than the large-flowering specie, 
Camellia japonica. Too, most varieties bloom as early as September in profu- 
sion depending on growing and weather conditions, and location. Their be- 
havior, planted outside, beyond the Camellia Belt has amazed Camellia grow- 
ers. The habit of growth of the sasanqua is in many forms allowing their 
use as specimens, for espalier, bonsai, hanging baskets, rock gardens, ground 
cover and pot culture. There are many varieties. The following are the new- 
est and ones proved best. Their greatest beauty of flower is not seen in just 
one blossom, but, like an azalea, when blooming profusely.
