Camellia Autumn Rocket White (Camellia sasanqua) is a remarkable evergreen shrub that stands out for its pristine white blooms, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking elegance and seasonal interest. This camellia variety is celebrated for its upright growth habit and abundant flowering, making it a perfect addition to any garden.

Blooms: The defining feature of Camellia Autumn Rocket White is its breathtaking flowers, which are pure white and exhibit a lovely, semi-double form. These striking blooms typically emerge in late fall and persist into winter, offering a beautiful contrast against the rich greenery of the foliage. The flowers are known to attract pollinators, enhancing the biodiversity of the garden during the colder months.

Foliage: The foliage of Autumn Rocket White is equally appealing, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop to the striking white flowers. The evergreen nature of this camellia ensures that it remains vibrant throughout the year, contributing to the garden's allure even in winter when many other plants have lost their leaves.

Size: Camellia Autumn Rocket White is known for its upright, columnar growth, typically reaching a height of about 6-8 feet with a spread of 3-4 feet. This narrow form makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces, where it can function beautifully as a privacy screen, hedge, or vertical accent in mixed borders, allowing it to complement a variety of landscape designs. 

Sun and Soil Requirements: This camellia thrives best in partial shade to full sun, although it appreciates some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent leaf scorch. It prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and while it enjoys consistent moisture, it’s crucial to avoid overly soggy conditions, as these can lead to root rot.

Pruning: Prune shortly after it finishes blooming, allowing the plant to develop flower buds for the following season. Light pruning can help maintain its shape and health, while removing any dead or diseased wood thus promoting overall vitality. Since this variety blooms on old wood, it’s important to avoid heavy pruning to preserve future flowering potential.

Landscape Use: Camellia Autumn Rocket White is an incredibly versatile shrub, ideal for planting in foundation areas, as a standalone specimen, or as a part of mixed borders. Its stunning white blooms can brighten dull winter landscapes, making it a perfect choice for enhanced seasonal décor. Additionally, its upright form allows it to serve as a tasteful privacy screen or backdrop in any garden design.

With its striking white blooms and attractive foliage, Camellia Autumn Rocket White is sure to be a captivating addition to any garden. Consider adding this lovely camellia to your landscape today, and enjoy its timeless beauty and the charm it brings during the cooler months for many seasons to come!
