Pure Silk Camellia - Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk'
Camellia sasanqua 'Pure Silk' flowers from autumn into early winter, opening pale pink buds to near white blooms with a soft silky finish at the season when the rest of the garden is shutting down. Unlike the japonica camellias it takes full sun on the coast, and its small dark leaf and dense twiggy structure make it as useful as a clipped hedge as it is as a flowering shrub. It is the standard choice for a formal evergreen hedge that also has a flowering season.
Why Pure Silk Camellia
Autumn to winter flowering: The display runs from about March through to June in most of southern Australia, well outside the usual flowering window.
Sun tolerance: Sasanqua camellias handle open sun and reflected heat far better than japonica types, which need shelter.
Fine dense foliage: Small glossy leaves on tight branching take a clipped face cleanly and hold it through the year.
Self cleaning flowers: Petals drop individually rather than hanging on as brown blooms, so the shrub tidies itself.
Compact scale: At 1.5 to 2.5m it sits at the right height for a screen you look over rather than one that closes a garden in.
Ideal Applications
Formal flowering hedge: Planted at 1 to 1.5m centres and clipped after flowering it makes a tight evergreen hedge with a winter show.
Espalier against a wall: The flexible young growth trains readily to wires on a fence or a shaded courtyard wall.
Layered garden bed: Used as the mid layer between ground covers and taller trees, holding structure through winter.
Pots and planters: Its shallow, fibrous root system suits long term container growing beside an entry or on a terrace.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1 to 1.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 2 to 3m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to spring, avoiding the hottest months
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter; does not tolerate waterlogging or alkaline conditions
Establishment Care: Water regularly during the first two growing seasons to establish a deep root system, applying a layer of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-watering once established and fertilise with an acid-forming fertiliser in late winter to early spring.
