Description
Camellia sasanqua 'Waterfall Pink' provides the best ground-cover of autumn camellias, and its mellow spreading vegetation, adorned with pink flowers, transforms it into a beautiful flowering cascade in autumn. This original variety will bring a lively charm to the late season: the fresh pink of its double corollas well highlighted by its evergreen foliage of dark and glossy green. Attractive all year round, this bush will create a sensation above a low wall or in front of a bed of taller bushes. Give it moist soil in summer, completely free of limestone.
'Waterfall Pink' camellia is one of the many hybrids derived from the Camellia sasanqua species, which belongs to the tea family. This plant forms a shrub with a habit that is bushy, flexible, wide, and prostrate. Its growth is quite rapid, allowing it to reach 1m (3 ft 4 in) in height and 1.50m (4 ft 11 in) in width within 10 years. Its mature size reaches 1m (3 ft 4 in) with a spread of 1.70m (5 ft 6 in) under favourable conditions. Flowering takes place from October to November. This bush produces beautiful flowers measuring 5 to 6 cm (2 to 2.4 in) wide, composed of multiple pink petals that fade slightly over time, around a barely visible golden yellow stamen. They are not very long-lasting, but continually renew themselves on the plant, leaving a carpet of petals on the ground, like cherry trees in Japan. The dense foliage persists throughout winter. It is composed of dark green, shiny, ovate and leathery dentate leaves, paler on the underside.
A shrub for humid oceanic climates and non-limestone soil, Camellia sasanqua 'Waterfall Pink' is sensitive to scorching sun and windy conditions. It performs better in mild climates than in cold regions, where flowering may be destroyed due to a lack of hardiness. Wherever winter is not too harsh, it can be planted in the garden either in isolation or in front of a bed of other acid-loving plants (Rhododendron, azaleas, Hydrangea, Hamamelis). The 'Waterfall Pink' camellia deserves a prime site: place it in a raised position near a porch, not far from the house, or at the turn of a pathway. You can dress its base with autumn bulbs, such as colchicums or cyclamens. In cold regions, it can be planted on a balcony or terrace, and brought indoors during the flowering period to an unheated conservatory or cool greenhouse.

Planting and care
Camellia sasanqua is ideal for humid oceanic climates, and limestone-free soil. If these conditions are not met, it will languish and never reach its full potential. It can be placed in a partially shaded spot sheltered from cold and drying winds. You can grow it in the (not-too-strong) sun, but the roots must remain cool. Plant it in a cool, humus-rich, acidic, and well-drained soil. The bush should not be planted too deeply, the top of the root ball should be covered with 3 cm (1.2 in) of soil. In winter, cover it with a 5 to 7 cm (2 to 2.8 in) thick layer of leaf compost and crushed bark. Beware of frost, which can damage the flowers and buds. During dry periods, water to prevent the dropping of flower buds. Camellia sasanqua can withstand brief periods of frost down to -12°C. It may be susceptible to root rot, leaf spots, and viruses. It can be attacked by aphids and scale insects, which cause sooty mould, as well as by vine weevils that chew the edges of the leaves.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
