Landscaping uses.

Care

As this is a sasanqua type camellia, it will grow well in more sun than the japonica types.

A humus rich well drained soil is essential for good growth. Look for a slightly acidic soil, or in containers use a specialist camellia potting mix.

Although sasanqua do handle more sun, they also require a little more moisture during hot summers. Mulch around the plant well to provide a cool moist root run.

Although not a hungry plant in good soils, Camellia sasanqua ‘Early Pearly’ will benefit from a specialist camellia fertiliser, especially those grown in containers.
