| Botanical Name | Camellia sasanqua ‘Hot Flash’ |
| Description | Part of the Southern Living® Plant Collection, ‘Hot Flash’® is prized for its low-growing, mounded habit and intense crimson-red flowers. It handles the Houston sun better than many other Camellias, though it appreciates some afternoon shade. Like all Camellias, it requires acidic, well-draining soil. To ensure success in local heavy clay, we recommend planting in a raised bed or amended mound to provide the superior drainage necessary to prevent root rot. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Filtered morning sun is best) |
| Height x Width | 4-5 feet tall x 4-5 feet wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture. Mulch well to keep roots cool and damp during hot summer months. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Feed with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring after the fall/winter flowering cycle. |
| Pruning | Naturally maintains a compact shape; lightly prune after blooming only if necessary for size control. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
