Camellia sasanqua Survivor
Camellia sasanqua Survivor
Autumn Camellia, Christmas Camellia
It's been 5 years now since it was planted in the rhododendron and heather hedge, and it's growing very slowly but steadily. Its foliage is quite glossy, very pretty, and it has been flowering for 2 years. Currently, it stands at around 1.40m in height and 80cm in width, its growth is slow, so patience is needed for it to reach the promised 3m by PDF.

Description
Camellia sasanqua Survivor is a graceful shrub with a flexible habit and small evergreen leaves. Unlike the more common Camellia japonica, it flowers in autumn. The flower petals are pinkish-white and open up to reveal a bright yellow stamen centre. The flowers are slightly fragrant.
The bush grows in a compact and upright manner and remains a small bush for a long time, making it perfect for integrating into a hedge, especially since it has evergreen foliage. Of course you can also grow it as a standalone plant to fully enjoy its elegant habit. Grown in a container, it is possible to bring it indoors to a conservatory during autumn to extend and enjoy its flowering period. If this Camellia is called 'Survivor', it's because this variety can withstand extremely harsh winters, being hardy down to -20°C.
Camellias are native to East and South Asia, and they are among the most popular and fascinating ornamental bushes. Many books have been dedicated to them, including one by Abbot Berlèse (1784-1863), a famous and magnificent iconography that faithfully reproduces the most beautiful camellias in his collection.

Planting and care
Camellia sasanqua Survivor can be grown in a fairly shady site sheltered from cold and drying winds. It can be cultivated in full sun, but the roots must remain cool. Plant in a fresh, humus-rich, acidic and well-drained soil. Do not plant the bush 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 crushed bark. Be careful of late frosts that can damage the flowers and buds. Water during dry periods to prevent the bush dropping flower buds. 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 vine weevils. Snow can damage the foliage of camellias - lightly shake the bush after snowfall to remove it.

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).
