DESCRIPTION
Camellia sasanqua 'Sekiyo' is a vigorous shrub known for its bright, raspberry-pink flowers. These blooms, which can be single or semi-double, appear from autumn to early winter. The slightly tousled petals surround a golden stamen center, creating a vivid display against the glossy, dark green evergreen foliage. As the flowers fade, they gracefully drop their petals, leaving behind a delicate carpet effect.

Introduced in Japan in 1958, this variety is a hybrid of Camellia sasanqua, valued for its adaptability and showy flowers. 'Sekiyo' performs well in sunny or partly shaded spots, and its robust nature makes it suitable for informal hedges, standalone planting, or containers. Its colorful blooms and year-round foliage add interest and charm to garden landscapes.
