| Botanical Name | Camellia sasanqua 'Autumn Rocket' |
| Description | A stellar choice for Willis and Houston landscapes where vertical space is limited. 'Autumn Rocket' is prized for its narrow, upright habit and prolific white, semi-double flowers that bloom in fall. To ensure success in local clay, plant in a raised bed with plenty of organic matter and sulfur; camellias require acidic, well-drained soil to avoid nutrient deficiencies and root rot during wet Texas months. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (More sun-tolerant than Japonica varieties) |
| Height x Width | 8-10 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture but must have excellent drainage. Mulch with pine bark to maintain soil acidity. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer after blooming. |
| Pruning | Prune only after the fall blooming cycle is complete to maintain its upright, columnar shape. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
