Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' is a fall bloomer with pure white single flowers. Makes a beautiful hedge or espalier.

By: Gossler Farms

Evergreen, upright habit with dark green, glossy foliage. Complimented by large white, ruffled edged flowers with yellow stamens from October to December. Great for espalier or border plantings. Prefers filtered shade, but with adequate moisture, can take full sun. Growth Rate slow

Somewhat more diminutive than some, this white flowered cultivar with a statuesque presence and slightly weeping habit is easily espaliered or kept in a container as the growth is medium and the plant is easily kept to 4 ft. Can also reach to 8 ft tall x 4 ft wide. The flowers, white and semi-double centered with bright golden stamens, often emerge in late October, continuing through midwinter, standing out against the dense and shining, dark green foliage. One of the best "impress your relatives from Iowa" specimens -- a sight to behold blooming by the front door on New Year's Day. Part sun to dappled shade with regular summer water is best. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 or above.

This widely popular variety is known by many names, all attempting to describe the pristine white, large blooms, with a burst of golden stamens in the center of their generally semi-double form. Bloom is early to midseason, on an upright growing plant.
