Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' is a stunning evergreen shrub popular for its elegant, fragrant flowers and glossy foliage. This cultivar typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet and spreads about 3 to 5 feet, making it an excellent choice for gardens or as a foundation plant. Its growth habit is upright and bushy, allowing it to fill space while maintaining a refined appearance.
'Setsugekka' thrives in partial shade to full sun, but it prefers dappled light, which enhances its flowering potential. This variety produces large, white blooms with delicate, frilled edges, blooming in late fall to early winter, providing a beautiful contrast against its dark green leaves.
Water requirements for Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' are moderate; it enjoys consistently moist soil but should not be overly saturated. Regular watering during dry periods is recommended, especially when establishing the plant. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, contributing to its overall health and vigor. This resilient shrub is well-suited for the San Francisco East Bay climate, making it a favored selection for local gardeners.
