Setsugekka Camellia is a classic and exceptionally popular Sasanqua camellia, renowned for its elegant, large, semi-double white flowers. The blooms are pristine white with a hint of pink on the ruffled petal edges and a central cluster of golden stamens. It often has a light, sweet fragrance. Blooming from mid-fall into early winter, it is one of the earliest and most reliable camellias to flower, brightening the garden as other plants fade. Its vigorous, upright but spreading habit makes it excellent for hedges, screens, or as a specimen.

Large, Elegant White Fall Blooms: Produces an abundance of large, semi-double white flowers with ruffled edges from October to December.
Early & Prolific Bloomer: A cornerstone of the fall garden, providing color when few other shrubs are in flower.
Vigorous, Upright-Spreading Habit: Grows quickly into a dense, full shrub, perfect for creating privacy screens or informal hedges.
Light Fragrance: Many find the flowers to have a delicate, pleasant scent.
Sun Tolerant: As a Sasanqua, it tolerates more sun than Japonica camellias, though afternoon shade is still beneficial.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: How does it handle sun exposure?
A: It is one of the most sun-tolerant camellias. It performs best with morning sun and afternoon shade but can handle more direct sun than C. japonica varieties, especially with adequate moisture.

Q: Is it a good choice for a hedge?
A: Yes, it is an outstanding choice for a tall, flowering hedge or screen. Its fast growth, dense foliage, and prolific blooming make it ideal for this purpose. Space plants 4-5 feet apart.
