Camellia sasanqua Snow

Common Name: Sasanqua Camellia 'Snow'

Description: The 'Snow' variety of Camellia sasanqua is an evergreen shrub notable for its graceful, cascading habit, making it a unique addition to any garden. From early autumn, it produces an abundance of double white flowers that may develop a subtle blush pink hue as the season progresses. The glossy, dark green foliage provides a striking backdrop to the delicate blooms. 'Snow' thrives in filtered sunlight or part shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils rich in organic matter. Its weeping form makes it ideal for cascading over walls or rocks, and it can be trained as a weeping standard for added visual interest. This cultivar is well-suited to Melbourne's climate, offering elegant floral displays during the cooler months.
