The Story

Plant Bio

Camellia sasanqua is a species of evergreen shrub known for its smaller leaves and earlier, often fragrant, fall blooms compared to C. japonica. They typically have a more open, spreading growth habit and greater sun tolerance. 'Hana-Jiman', meaning "Flower Pride," features large, single to semi-double white flowers, elegantly picoteed with a rosy-pink edge, and a prominent boss of golden stamens. It has a graceful, somewhat weeping habit.

Bloom Period:

EarlyLate

Uses & Benefits:

Provides exquisite, delicate flowers in the fall when garden color is waning. Its graceful, arching habit and fine-textured evergreen foliage add an element of elegance to the landscape year-round.

Versatile in use, it can be a standalone specimen, an airy informal hedge, a foundation plant, or trained as a beautiful espalier. The flowers are lovely for cutting.

The autumn blooms are a valuable late-season nectar source for bees and other pollinators preparing for winter, providing sustenance when other floral resources are scarce.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a site with acidic, well-drained soil and good air circulation.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper.
Set the plant so the top of the root ball is slightly above soil level.
Backfill with amended soil, watering to remove air pockets.
Water deeply and consistently during the first year of establishment.
Apply a layer of acidic mulch like pine straw or bark.

Pro Tip

The open, arching habit of 'Hana-Jiman' makes it an excellent candidate for training as an espalier against a warm wall.
