Shishi Gashira Camellia is a strong, reliable bloomer with glossy green evergreen leaves and vibrant dark pink semi-double flowers. An early to mid season winter bloomer, Shishi Gashira provides interest in the landscape when many other plants are dormant. A moderate grower that is useful as a small hedge or accent, it can also be planted in a container or trained as an espalier. Camellias prefer well drained rich soil and a deep mulch to keep their roots cool. Feed with an acid fertilizer after blooming.
