Shi-shi Gashira Camellia has large, perfectly formed, semi-double pink flowers with ruffled edges and a bright cluster of golden stamens at the center. A dense, semi-weeping habit with glossy, dark green foliage makes for an exceptional plant. Allow its unique weeping form to create the background for a romantic garden setting, or use it as a front-of-the-border feature.
Shi-shi Gashira Camellia prefers acidic, well-drained soil and should be planted high (with the trunk base well above the soil line) in a protected climate free from extended heavy freezes. Mulching helps to keep roots cool.
