Common Name: Camellia 'Jennifer Susan'

Description: Camellia sasanqua 'Jennifer Susan' is an evergreen shrub admired for its abundant, soft pink, semi-double to peony-form blooms featuring wavy petals.

The dense, upright growth habit showcases glossy, dark green foliage, providing an elegant backdrop to the blossoms. In Melbourne's climate, 'Jennifer Susan' thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soils enriched with organic matter.
