About this Camellia cultivar

Camellia sasanqua 'Hugh Evans' is an autumn-flowering sasanqua camellia cultivar valued for its elegant pink blooms and glossy evergreen foliage. As a Camellia sasanqua, it is likely a vigorous garden shrub with a refined habit and good landscape use as a specimen, hedge, or espalier. The flowers appear soft pink with a lighter center and visible golden stamens, giving the bloom a semi-double look and a delicate ornamental effect. Like many sasanquas, it is inferred to bloom early in the camellia season and to have a graceful, upright to bushy growth habit.
