CAMELLIA SASANQUA ‘EARLY PEARLY’ is a highly valued evergreen shrub, notable for being one of the earliest Sasanqua camellias to burst into bloom. Its delightful, semi-double to double flowers, which are pure white often with a delicate blush of pink, begin to appear in early autumn, providing an invaluable early splash of colour to the garden as other plants fade. ‘Early Pearly’ typically grows with an upright to slightly spreading habit, reaching a mature height and width of approximately 2-3 meters. Its glossy, dark green foliage remains attractive throughout the year. This hardy Sasanqua camellia thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, acidic soil. It’s an excellent choice for informal hedges, screens, espaliers, or as a graceful specimen plant, adding beauty and interest to garden beds and containers when few other plants are in flower. Relatively low maintenance and drought tolerant once established.
