Camellia sasanqua (sa-sang-kwa) originated in Southern Japan and is one of the most versatile landscaping plants available to gardeners. Hardy and tolerant Camellia sasanqua can be used for hedging, screens, espalier or container planting. With careful selection Camellia sasanqua varieties will put on a floral display from February until August. Many varieties have a lovely delicate fragrance. At Wairere we just love Camellias and therefore have a fantastic range to choose from. Some of the top performers are Apple Blossom, Chasonette, Early Pearly, Gay Sue, Jean May, Plantation Pink and the always in demand Setsugekka. In the late 1990's the Paradise series was introduced to New Zealand from Australia and their superior breeding has resulted in Camellias that have improved sun tolerance and hardiness. Look for Paradise Blush, Paradise Helen and Paradise Petite to name a few. Pop in to the nursery at 826 Gordonton Road, Hamilton to talk to Harry and Lloyd about the right Camellia for your planting scheme or is you wish browse our secure web-site to make your selection. Your plants can be freighted direct to your door anywhere in New Zealand.
