| Botanical Name | Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' |
| Description | Highly regarded in the Willis and Houston metro area for its semi-weeping habit and prolific "snow-moon-flower" white blooms. This sasanqua variety is more sun-tolerant than japonicas but must have acidic, well-draining soil. To succeed in local heavy clay, plant in raised beds with organic amendments and pine bark to ensure the roots stay aerated and never waterlogged. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (Filtered afternoon light is ideal for protecting foliage) |
| Height x Width | 8-10 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture. Heavy mulching with pine bark is essential to protect shallow roots from intense Texas summer heat. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring after the blooming cycle has completed. |
| Pruning | Prune after flowering in late winter or early spring to maintain its graceful shape or desired size. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
