Camellia sasanqua 'Early Pearly'

Common Name: Camellia ‘Early Pearly’

Description:
Camellia sasanqua ‘Early Pearly’ is a stunning, early-flowering evergreen shrub featuring elegant, semi-double, pearly white blooms with soft yellow stamens. Flowering from autumn into early winter, this variety provides a brilliant display when many other plants are dormant. Its glossy, dark green foliage forms a dense, upright habit, making it ideal for hedging, screening, and container planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Early Pearly’ prefers well-drained, acidic soil and a sheltered position with morning sun or dappled shade. It responds well to pruning, making it an excellent choice for topiary, espalier, or formal gardens.
