RE: Camellia sassanqua

in #camellia7 years ago

your post alltime fantastic.because alltime showing alots of flower post in your blog.its very perfect and original. Camellia sassanqua 'Shishi Gashira' - Known for its beautiful flowers and long blooming season. Dark pink flowers 2-3 inches across are produced in abundance from October to January. The ShiShi Gashira camellia is a slow-growing shrub that can reach 5 feet tall but is more typically around 3 feet. It is often called a dwarf sasanqua because it is smaller-growing than typical sasanquas. The compact growth habit and slow rate of growth make ShiShi Gashira an excellent choice for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, containers and basically anywhere a smaller shrub is needed. It truly would be hard to find a finer, more attractive and reliable, low-growing shrub for Louisiana landscapes. Every garden should have a Shishi Gashira Camellia, named a Louisiana Super Plant by the LSU AgCenter. FB_IMG_1530676422153.jpg
Autumn sees the beginning of camellias in our garden. We did plant rather enthusiastically when we first came here. Fortunately at that time many odd camellias were being brought into Australia by Erica McMinn (Camellia Lodge, Melbourne), Camellia Grove (Sydney) and members of the Australian Camellia Research Society so I was able to buy some interesting kinds - well, at least they interested me, Stirling Macoboy and Prof. Water FB_IMG_1530676419278.jpg Marvelous late fall planting combination: Acer palmatum Ryusen shining red and gold behind Camellia sassanqua Bonanza with American Boxwoods in the mid ground....all this color in Atlanta in December!

IMG_20180704_095728.jpg Camellia sassanqua, nice to get flowers! These are fall flowering camellias but often it is too cold here on the north shore to see flowers. FB_IMG_1530676605076.jpg The white and pink varieties of the Japanese Wind Flowers (Anemone x hybrid) are on display within the Garden at the moment. These perennial plants flower in early autumn and enjoy sunny / semi sun and moist positions. To encourage healthy regrowth, remove spent flower spikes and dead leaves in winter. It is best to feed with a new dose of compost or mulch in late winter before fresh growth begins.thanks to sharing for your great and best post of flower cameliea.very well done.take care yourself and best of luck of your great work.may god bless you.your post always amazing..my dear friend.. @ctrl-alt-nwo
