The Camellia Sassanqua is a plant that is native to China and Japan. The known history of this plant goes back to the Japanese Edo period where cultivars of this plant started to be recorded by Ihei Ito. The Japanese do not consider a true Camellia as they refer to it as Sazanka. The plant was not known in the West until 1820 when Captain Richard Rawes of the East India company brought back samples. The plant itself starts to flower in in Autumn and Winter time, producing a lovely variety of pink roses. The maximum height this plant can grow to is 3 m and the ultimate sideways spread is 3 m. The plant is acceptable to the British climate but only has a hardiness rating of H4 so make sure to shelter it during an unexpected cold snap. Potential pests and diseases can affect this plant so make sure to take care. Maintaining this plant with pruning group 1 and 8 is advisable.
