Hana Jiman Camellia

Camellia sasanqua 'Hana Jiman' is an elegant evergreen shrub that blooms from fall through early winter, typically between October and December. The semi-double flowers are notable for their white petals with delicately blushed pink edges, surrounding a prominent cluster of golden-yellow stamens. This cultivar's smaller leaves and more sun-tolerant nature make it distinct from its japonica relatives, allowing it to thrive in various garden settings.

Design tip

An arching camellia can add a softer, more relaxed line to areas dominated by fences, walls, or other straight edges. Its fall flowers make that effect even stronger, drawing attention away from the hardscape and giving the garden a welcoming finish as winter approaches.
