| Botanical Name | Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro' |
| Description | A stunning, upright grower prized in the Willis and Houston area for its profuse rosy-pink flowers with golden centers. 'Kanjiro' is more sun-tolerant than many other camellias, but still requires acidic, well-draining soil. Because of our local clay, we recommend planting in raised beds or mounds to ensure the roots stay healthy and out of standing water. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (Filtered light is ideal) |
| Height x Width | 8-10 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; keep soil consistently moist. Applying mulch is vital in Texas summers to protect the shallow root system from heat. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring once blooming has finished. |
| Pruning | Prune after the flowering cycle in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and density. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
