Description
A fine selection for the sensory garden, the Setsugekka Camellia is adorned with an abundance of wonderfully fragrant and gorgeous bright white flowers over a long period from early fall all the way to December! The semi-double flowers have ruffled petals that surround a boss of bright golden stamens for extra added appeal. Gracefully arching branches and dark green foliage are a perfect backdrop and contrast of color for the large flowers. If you are looking to brighten up the fall and winter landscape, Setsugekka is a great choice. The flowers are excellent for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 7 feet wide, the Setsugekka Camellia can be grown as a shrub or small tree. As a shrub it is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge or background plant in landscape borders and is specially nice as a corner plant or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. As the plant grows, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive and elegant small evergreen tree that serves well as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, camellia gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens and woodland borders. Also suitable for containers that can be brought indoors during winter by those who live above USDA Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy. Find Your Zone
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Camellia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Camellia adapt well to various soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. In general, Camellia grows and blooms better in partial shade with some shelter from the hot afternoon sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sunlight is perfect. All-day filtered sun is fine.
