Overview: A sasanqua-type camellia grown for its pink, semi-double blooms.

Mature size: Approximately 3–4 ft. tall and 4–5 ft. wide — a naturally dwarf, dense form.

Sun exposure: Full sun to partial shade — more sun-tolerant than Camellia japonica

Flowering season: Fall through winter (roughly October–February, timing varies by cultivar)

Hardiness: USDA Zones 7–9

Water needs: Average to low once established; more drought-tolerant than C. japonica

Special features: More compact and dense than most sasanquas, making it a good low hedge or foundation choice. More resistant to Phytophthora root rot than C. japonica; slightly salt-tolerant; blooms earlier in the season than japonica types, filling the fall/winter gap; flowers form on old wood, so prune right after bloom

Wildlife value: Bees and other early-season pollinators

Botanical name: Camellia sasanqua 'Shishi'
