National Plant Network Camellia Sasanqua Rose of Autumn
Best robust flowering plant for creating vibrant garden displays.
National Plant Network’s grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! Rose of Autumn Camellia is a refined evergreen shrub prized for its abundant semi-double hot pink blooms that appear in the fall and early winter when few shrubs are in flower. It thrives in USDA Zones 7 through 9 in part sun with well-drained acidic soil, and adapts to tolerate a wide range of conditions once established. Use it as a screen or hedge for winter interest, a specimen near an entryway, or an accent in mixed shrub borders where its bloom and evergreen foliage can shine. Camellia are a low maintenance choice for any garden due to their deer, rabbit, and disease resistance.
