Camellia sasanqua
This Camellia sasanqua is going over now. It’s been blooming since September. Mine is 4 years old and about 8′ high. There is one down the road that is about 15′ high and has been pruned into a multi-trunk tree.
I don’t know the variety. I thought it was in my notebook, but I can’t find it. Might it be ‘Pink Snow’? Can anyone enlighten me?
The petals fall to the ground (beautifully mulched with pine straw) in a pale pink carpet that looks like snow.
I love it.
I don’t know the variety, but I LOVE it too. I can just imagine that pale pink carpet of fallen petals because my childhood home had a hedge of sasanquas that I adored. We set the flowers afloat on boats made of bark. Thanks for showing yours.
