Bright Pink Blooms in Winter!
Shishi Gashira is a sasanqua variety of Camellia. Sasanqua Camellia varieties typically bloom late fall into winter. Most are a little more cold-sensitive to longer subfreezing temperatures. Compared to the japonica variety of Camellia, sasanqua are typically smaller. Their height, leaves, and even blooms are a bit smaller. Some refer to Shishi Gashira as a dwarf Camellia.
Shishi Gashira produces large, beautiful semi-double pink blooms that are golden-yellow in the center. It also has dense, glossy, dark green foliage. The flowers are prized as cut flowers. They can be as big as 3 to 5 inches wide.
Uses: They can be used in a natural area to have color in winter. Because of their dense foliage, they make great hedges. Shishi Gashira is also one of the smaller Camellia, making them an attractive alternative to boxwood shrubs or hollies along foundations.
