Camellia sasanqua Little Pearl
Not so little and oh-so lovely, Little Pearl has charmingly flouncy flowers that shade from deep pink on the very outside to pure ice-white in the centre. Blooms through the colder months, in large tubs, garden borders, or as informal evergreen hedging. Sansanqua type, so better for warmer humid gardens than the japonicas.
Camellia sasanqua 'Little Pearl'
APPEARANCE : Evergreen shrub with medium-large double flowers over a long flowering period in late autumn and early winter. Petals shade from pink to white towards the centre. Sasanqua Camellias have smaller leaves and more dense foliage than the Japonica varieties. They are more sun tolerant, better in warmer climates, and earlier flowering.
USES: Ideal for screens, hedges, espaliers and large pots.
PLANTING: Sunny or partly shaded position with morning or afternoon sun. Shelter from strong winds and exposed sites. Plant in a free draining soil rich in organic matter. A potting mix rich with peat moss or humus is ideal added at the time of planting.
CARE: Mulch and water well, prune after flowering and fertilise in Spring. Plant in a soil which is medium to acidic. Avoid lime.
