Tall and slender, the perfect size for a flowering evergreen hedge, Paradise Pearl's large flowers start as fat rose-pink buds and open into neat rounded soft pink blooms, white on the inside, maturing into full pure white exuberance. Breathakingly beautiful at every stage.

Sasanqua camellias do much better than the japonica types in a warmer humid climate, and will flower earlier too.
