As an heirloom variety cherished for centuries, this camellia continues to captivate gardeners. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 7-10, the pink perfection camellia prefers moist, acidic soil, so consider using our acidic potting mix to prepare your planting site. It also requires well-draining soil, as it dislikes soggy conditions.

Shi Shi Camellia Shrub in 1 Gal. Grower's Pot
The shishi camellia is a versatile plant, ideal for use as a small specimen tree, an evergreen hedge, or a border along a wall or fence. Its dark pink double blossoms are remarkable, unfolding to display their magnificent hues in late fall or early spring. The shiny evergreen foliage contrasts beautifully with the bright pink blooms, which feature a golden yellow core. These leaves remain dark green throughout the year. The striking flower buds make lovely cut flowers for vases and will continue to bloom for a month or two. Shishi camellias thrive in hardiness zones 7-10 and can grow in a variety of soil types, provided the soil is well-draining and situated in full sun to partial shade. They prefer soil with a PH of less than 7. To acidify your soil, you can add peat moss, used coffee grounds, or other acidifying substances. These plants require minimal upkeep to remain healthy. The ideal planting location offers filtered sunlight, especially in regions with scorching summers. At maturity, shisha camellias can reach a height of 4-5 feet and a spread of 6-8 ft. Due to their slow growth rate, they are perfect for smaller gardens or for planting behind larger shade trees. For optimal development, plant the bushes at least 3-4 ft. apart.
