The Shi Shi Gashira Camellia is a versatile performer displaying 2 to 3 inch dark pink, semi-double blooms with golden yellow stamens in the center and glossy, dark green foliage. It is a slow-growing shrub that can reach 5 feet tall but is more typically around 3 feet. Shi Shi Gashira is often called a dwarf sasanqua because the flowers and foliage are similar to sasanquas, and it is smaller-growing than typical sasanquas. Its unique weeping form can create the background for a romantic garden setting, or use it as a front-of-the-border feature. Flowers are perfect for cutting. This evergreen is an early to mid season bloomer producing blooms from October to early January. USDA ZONES: Zone 7, Zone 8, Zone 9.
