LEFT: Louisiana State University Ag Center, lsuagcenter.com. explains that ShiShi Gashira belongs to a different species called Camellia hiemalis although gardeners call manmade hybrids sasanqua-type camellias. Shi-Shi Gashira has been one of the most widely planted and popular camellias in southern landscapes for over 8 decades. It’s often called a dwarf camellia because it is smaller growing than sasanqua species. The flowers and foliage are similar to early-season sasanquas, and they bloom at the same time. RIGHT: In Jane’s garden, pink, early season Shishigashira flowers from November to December. The planting bed was well-amended with fine decaying mulch made from yard waste at the landfill. In 11 years, this plant grew to 6-feet tall by 5-feet diameter. It is in the shade beneath tall Sand Live oak trees.
