Camellia sasanqua 'Bonanza Var.' Camellia japonica 'April Remembered'
Our Price: $24.00

Camellia japonica 'April Remembered'
2 year old plant.

This has some of the deepest pink-red flowers of any of the Sasanqua. All Sasanquas have pink overtones due to the chemistry of the pigments in their flowers. The flowers are semi-double and medium sized and the plant has a somewhat spreading habit. The variegation caused by virus in these plants can create white mottles in the flowers. Multiple clones of ‘Bonanza’ exist and this is a larger flowered form which starts to bloom in October.

Zone 8a
1 year old plant.

This vigorous upright grower with spreading branches has large, cream to pink shaded, semi-double flowers. The bud set is substantial, and the flowers are produced over a long period from early to late season. This selection is slightly larger in all respects and much hardier than its mother, 'Bernice Boddy'. I believe this to be one of the hardiest Camellias. ('Bernice Boddy' × 'Dr. Tinsley')

A Camellia Forest Introduction.
Camellia japonica 'Tom Knudsen' Camellia edithae 'Jinqu' = 'Dongnan Shancha'
Our Price: $24.00
Our Price: $30.00
2 year old plant.

The striking dark red large sized flowers vary from formal double to informal double to peony form. The plant has a very compact growth habit and blooms a little early to mid-season but generally puts on a big show late in the season.

Zone 7A
3 year old plant.

‘Jinqu’=‘Dongnan Shancha’
This Chinese cultivar has an exceptional bloom as well as beautiful foliage. The formal double rose-red flowers are produced in late spring (the end of March through April) and are quite heat tolerant. The dark glossy leaves have deeply indented veins and make the plant handsome all year long. The form of the plant is also excellent with compact and upright growth. I have found this to perform better with some shade.

Zone 7B
Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Snow Cream', Oriental Paperbush Camellia japonica 'Jacks'

Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Snow Cream', Oriental Paperbush Camellia japonica 'Jacks'
This selection from Plant Delights grows about twice as fast as other clones but otherwise it is similar to 'JC CLone'.

Zone 7
[10' x 8']
1 year old plant.

The impressive flowers of 'Jacks' are deep pink formal double. The petals are arranged in many concentric circles. The plant is very hardy and one of the most compact C. japonicas. I recommend this one if you want something to stay less than 5 feet tall for many years.

Zone 7A
