Camellia Sasanqua, Asakura

Camellia Sasanqua 'Asakura' is a beautiful flowering shrub known for its delicate and fragrant blooms. Here are some guidelines on how to grow and maintain this variety:

Planting: Choose a well-draining location with partial shade or filtered sunlight. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant, ensuring it is at the same depth as it was in the container. Fill the hole with soil and gently firm it around the roots.
Watering: Camellias prefer moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells or in the first year after planting. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture.
Pruning: Prune after flowering to maintain the desired shape and size. Remove dead or diseased branches, and thin out crowded growth to improve air circulation.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and again in early summer to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Height: Camellia Sasanqua 'Asakura' typically grows to a height of 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters), but it can be pruned to maintain a smaller size if desired. Regular pruning can help control the height and shape of the plant.
By following these guidelines and providing proper care, you can enjoy the beautiful blooms and ensure healthy growth of your Camellia Sasanqua 'Asakura'.
