Camellia sasanqua 'Star's n Stripes' is an autumn camellia selected by Nuccio's Nurseries in Altadena, California, which stands out for the colour of its flowers, beautifully striped and streaked with carmine pink. This is unique colouring in this category of camellias, on a plant that produces many flowers between October and early December. Decorative even when not in bloom, this camellia is adorned with elegant evergreen foliage of dark green lustre. It thrives in partial shade or morning sun, in soil that remains cool in summer and is limestone free. Medium-sized, this variety with a natural habit, both upright and spreading, is perfect for landscaping.
Camellia sasanqua 'Star's n Stripes' is a horticultural hybrid with autumn flowering, of unknown parentage, introduced to the U.S.A in 1999 and still rarely offered in Europe. Like all camellias it belongs to the family of tea plants. It has a medium growth rate and forms a bush that will reach approximately 1.50 m (5 ft) in height after 10 years. The foliage is evergreen and consists of leaves that are 5 cm (2 in) long, ovate and leathery, finely dentate at the edges, and dark green in colour.
Its abundant flowering lasts from October to December, and is longer in mild climates. The flowers are bicoloured, measuring 8 to 9 cm (3 to 3.5 in) in diameter, single, resembling Japanese anemones. Each corolla has 5 to 7 petals in pinkish-red streaked with white, often adorned with a pinkish-red border, surrounding a golden yellow stamen centre. The flowers are ephemeral but continuously renew on the plant, leaving a carpet of petals on the ground, similar to cherry trees in Japan. This camellia perishes below -12°C.
Camellia sasanqua 'Stars'n Stripes' performs better in mild and humid climates than in cold regions, where its hardiness is sometimes lacking and its flowering destroyed. Wherever winter is not too harsh it can be planted in the garden, either alone or in association with other acid-loving plants (Rhododendron, deciduous azaleas, Hydrangea, Hamamelis), in a flowering hedge. Camellia 'Stars'n'Stripes' deserves a prime location not far from the house, at the entrance of the garden or along a pathway. You can also underplant it with autumn bulbs such as colchicums or Naples cyclamens. In cold regions it can be grown on a balcony or terrace, and brought inside a veranda or cold greenhouse during its flowering period. It can also be protected from the cold in a minimally heated apartment provided its foliage is regularly misted and it is watered with non-calcareous water.

Botanical data
Camellia Stars'n Stripes should be placed in a fairly shady spot, sheltered from cold and drying winds. You can grow it in morning sun, but the roots need to stay cool. It dislikes dry atmospheres and heatwaves. Plant it in a deep, cool, humus-rich, acidic, and well-drained soil. The bush should not be planted too deeply; the top of the root ball should be covered with 3 cm (1.2 in) of soil. In winter cover it with a 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in) thick mulch composed of leaf compost and shredded bark. Beware of late frosts that can damage the flowers and buds. During dry periods, water the bush to prevent the dropping of flower buds. Pruning should be done every year after flowering. Lightly trim the stems that prevent the bush from maintaining its compact habit. Remove faded flowers if you do not want fruits and remove dead shoots. The mature Camellia can tolerate severe pruning. Camellia sasanqua can be susceptible to root rot, leaf spots, and viruses. It can be attacked by aphids and scale insects that cause sooty mould, as well as by weevils.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
