Camellia 'Kanjiro'

Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro' is a beautiful and reliable evergreen shrub known for its profuse fall and early winter blooms. This cultivar features semi-double, deep rose-pink flowers with golden-yellow stamens that create a vibrant contrast against its dark green, glossy foliage. The blooms have a graceful, ruffled appearance and often appear in waves from late October through December, making it a standout in the cooler months when most other plants are dormant. 'Kanjiro' also has a slight fragrance, which adds to its seasonal charm.

This camellia typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 7 feet wide, though it can be kept smaller with pruning. It's adaptable to sun or part shade, preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil and some shelter from harsh afternoon sun or strong winds. 'Kanjiro' is often used as a hedge, screen, or specimen plant, and its upright, vase-shaped growth habit lends itself well to both formal and informal gardens. It’s also relatively cold-hardy for a camellia, making it a great choice for gardeners in USDA zones 7–9. With its rich color and long blooming season, 'Kanjiro' brings elegance and life to fall and winter landscapes.
