The Shi Shi Gashira Camellia is a classic low-growing camellia selection. It's known for its large semi-double fuchsia pink flowers that nearly coat the entire shrub. These blooms begin to emerge in mid-Fall and continue to rebloom through Winter. The foliage is dark green, leathery, and glossy, which creates a dynamic color contrast. This compact variety maxes out at 4-5 ft. tall and 6-8 ft. wide, so it's a perfect choice for a low-maintenance hedge or border with some serious blooming potential. These Camellias are drought tolerant once established and have superb disease resistance. They are also great attractants to pollinators such as butterflies while deterring certain pests like deer. The Shi Shi Gashira Camellia is hardy from USDA Zones 7-9. Plant them in Partial Sun (3-4 hours of direct sun) or all-day filtered sun. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season to encourage deep root growth. For best results, plant this Camellia in rich, acidic garden soil with good drainage. Fertilize yearly with a slow-release acidic plant fertilizer in spring to promote growth and the overall good health of your plant.
