By far the best known, these varieties can grow
from a small shrub to a tree of four to five meters. Flowering from early winter
to late spring they are excellent for the winter garden.
These generally have smaller leaves and bear
small flowers in mass profusion. A wide range from true miniatures to strong
upright plants that can be used as landscape or container plants.
Sasanquas are tough plants that cope well with wind, full sun or semishade.
They flower early autumn to early winter. Leaves are
generally narrow, elliptical and pointed. Particularly suitable as hedges,
screens
and espaliers.
Reticulatas are characterised by fairly
rapid strong open growth. We comment on only the few varieties that have a
different growth habit. Reticulatas will benefit from growth in the open and are
sun-hardy. Very large blooms in the late winter through to spring are
spectacular.

Early, heavy flowering landscape plants that offer
a variation in flower and plant appearance from full sasanquas.
The species camellias that are listed can provide
interest with unique attractive foliage. Well worth considering.
