Camellia Wirlinga Snow Drift

Common Name: Sasanqua Camellia 'Wirlinga Snow Drift'

Description: The 'Wirlinga Snow Drift' is an evergreen shrub known for its abundant semi-double white flowers adorned with delicate pink margins. Blooming from autumn through winter, it brings a touch of elegance to gardens during the cooler months. The plant features glossy, dark green foliage and a spreading habit, making it suitable for hedging, screening, or as a standalone specimen. 'Wirlinga Snow Drift' thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils enriched with organic matter. It's well-suited to Melbourne's climate and can tolerate full sun with adequate moisture. Regular mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps roots cool. Pruning after flowering maintains its shape and encourages healthy growth.
